Varlamov was the first goalie off the ice at the Islanders' morning skate.

The Islanders, winners of five straight amid a push for the Playoffs, will likely turn to Varlamov between the pipes for the third consecutive game. Varlamov has been terrific lately, winning five of his last six (5-1-0), allowing three or fewer goals in each, including saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday. The Islanders enter action as -204 home favourites.

Varlamov will start on Thursday in Florida.

Varlamov will take over the Islanders' crease for the second time in three games as he takes on the Panthers in Florida on Thursday. The 35-year-old backup netminder has done admirably when called upon this season, with his 8-7-4 record, 2.86 GAA and .910 SV%. He will head to Florida to take on the recently struggling Panthers, who have surprisingly lost five of their last six games but are still second in the NHL in shots per game (33.4).

Varlamov has only played once in the last six games but will return to the crease for the Islanders on Thursday night. After a terrific start to the season, Varlamov has struggled lately, failing to record a victory in seven straight outings (0-3-2), and has allowed three or more goals in three straight (0-2-1) while posting a .882 SV%. That said, the Islanders are coming off a 5-4 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins and are slight -114 road favourites entering action against the St. Louis Blues.

Varlamov is positing an impressive 6-4-2 record, 2.78 GAA And .918 SV% on the season. He will take on Montreal on Thursday.

Before his injury, he was playing about one of every three games for the Islanders, but it is unclear if that trend will continue under their new bench boss, Patrick Roy.
