Varlamov will start in net for Colorado.

Varlamov stopped four of five shots through two periods in Tuesday’s 5-2 win over the Coyotes. He was pulled in favour of Reto Berra for the third period after he didn’t face a single shot in the second period. It was a much needed break for Varlamov, who will be back in goal vs. the visiting Kings. Since the All Star break, Varly has gone 3-2-0 with a 1.75 GAA and .927 SV% at home.
