Semyon Varlamov will start in goal Monday.

Varlamov allowed one goal on 27 shots in 2-1 shootout loss against the Wild on Saturday. It was a strong outing for Varlamov but the Avalanche were stymied by Josh Harding. He will get the nod for the third time against the Stars tonight in Colorado. He is 2-0-0 with a 1.95 GAA and .943 SV% in the first two games.

Varlamov was announced as tonight's Avalanche starter on Wednesday but following a terrible outing in Edmonton, there is no official word if that is still the plan.

Varlamov allowed eight goals on 28 shots in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Oilers. He was not pulled because J.S Giguere was scheduled to start the following day. He will be back in the cage tonight at Vancouver, a tough matchup for Varly who has been wildly inconsistent as of late.

Varlamov is not practicing today (maintenance). Will practice tomorrow and start Thursday in Edmonton.

After appearing in court yesterday, Varlamov will be able to travel with the team and play until his next court date which is set to be January 23. Great news for the Avalanche and Varlamov owners, because he continues to play at a high level. He stopped 35 of 37 shots in a win over the Wild on Saturday. He has a solid matchup in Edmonton on Thursday.

Semyon Varlamov, 25, was charged with one count of third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. Varlamov was arrested in October after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend at their Denver home on October 30.

Varlamov has been granted permission to travel with the Avalanche but is scheduled to appear in Denver County court on December 2. If convicted he could face up to six months in prison.

Varlamov starts Thursday.

Varlamov regained his form on Tuesday, stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 5-1 win over Chicago. The Avalanche got him out to an early 3-0 lead and he was able to coast to the finish. His three straight losses prior to Tuesday proved to us why he has a career .914 SV% and that he won't maintain a SV% above .930 all season. However he is on a good team, and .914 is not so bad, he remains a solid number-1 fantasy option.

Varlamov allowed four goals on 33 shots in a loss to the Panthers on Saturday. It was his fourth loss in his last five starts. After a 7-1-0 October, Varly is 2-4-0 with a 3.06 GAA and .898 SV% in November. He has a difficulties matchup with the reigning Stanley Cup Champions in town tonight.

Varlamov starts on Wednesday.

Just over 24 hours after being in court last Thursday, Varlamov recorded his third straight win on Friday. He stopped 27 of 29 shots to preserve the victory over the Stars. Varlamov has been great but don't forget the serious charges that he is facing. However as long as he is starting games, you can continue to roll with him.

Varlamov will start tonight.

It was reported earlier in the week that J.S Giguere was going to start this evening. After Varlamov's run-in with the law this week, it appeared that Giguere would become the starter for the foreseeable future. However, Varlamov is back with the team and will end up getting the start tonight. He will face a solid Dallas Stars team tonight.
