New York Islanders News

Schneider has his six game winning streak snapped when he was pulled after allowing two goals on the first two shots in Edmonton on Saturday. He has a tough matchup vs. the red hot Antti Niemi and the San Jose Sharks.

Varlamov played amazing, making some spectacular saves in a 34-save shutout performance vs. the Predators on Saturday. He will get the nod tonight on the road vs. the Red Wings. He is 0-11-2 with a 3.64 GAA and .889 SV% away from the Pepsi Center this season.

Lee just finished up his junior year at the University of Notre Dame. He had 20 goals and 18 assists in 41 games this season. He totaled 61 goals and 55 assists (116 points) in 125 games at Notre Dame. It is unlikely that he will play for the Isles tonight, but tomorrow is a possibility.

Varlamov allowed two goals on 18 shots in his last outing in a 4-1 loss to LA. He has a good matchup this afternoon vs. the Predators.

It will be Schneider's 7th straight start.

Varlamov lost to Calgary last night and has a difficult matchup vs. the Canucks tonight. Looks elsewhere.

Schneider will get his sixth straight start tomorrow night vs. Colorado. He has won each of his last five starts with a 0.99 GAA, .962 SV%. and two shutouts. He has a good matchup tomorrow and could very well make it six wins in a row.

The Avs have lost six of their past seven games. Varlamov allowed four goals on 15 shots and was puled early in the second in his last start. He has a good chance to get the Avs back in the win column

Schneider has won four consecutive starts while posting a 1.25 GAA and .957 SV%. He has a good matchup against the Blue Jackets, he should make for a great start tonight. Especially on the hot-streak he is on.

Varlamov allowed three goals on 32 shots in his last start. He has a solid matchup tomorrow vs. the Stars.

Schneider gets the not again after beating the Blues 3-2 on Tuesday. He is a safe play against the Coyotes, and hopefully he can have another good game and remain the hot hand.

Ryan Malone (left shoulder) put on IR and Benoit Pouliot (right shoulder) is not as far along as hoped.

Varlamov was lit up for five goals on 32 shots vs. the Blackhawks. It has come to be expected that a goalie facing Chicago is a dangerous fantasy play, so hopefully you left him on your bench on Monday. He will be back between the pipes today with a much easier matchup vs. the Stars. However Varlamov is just 2-5-1 with a 3.10 GAA and .906 SV% in March, so start with caution.

Schneider hasn't started since March 10th, and has lost his last three consecutive starts. In those three losses he posted a 2.57 GAA and .910 SV%. He has a tough matchup tonight vs. a Blues team that has won five of their last six games. It should be a good goaltending matchup with Schneider going head-to-head with the red-hot Jake Allen.

Varlamov relieved J.S. Giguere in the Avalanche's last game, he gave up two goals on 12 shots. Varlamov has seen 712 shots this season which is fourth amongst NHL goalies and he has stopped 648 (.910 SV%) of them. He has seen a lot of rubber this season because the Avs are not great defensively. They will face the Blackhawks for the first time since they ended their long point streak tonight.

Varlamov allowed four goals on 31 shots vs. Edmonton in his last start. He will start tonight against a Minnesota team he is 0-1-0 against with a 4.10 GAA and .886 SV% against this season.
