Varlamov will serve as Ilya Sorokin's backup in Seattle on Tuesday and should start one of their back-to-back games over the weekend. Varlamov missed four games while in COVID-19 protocol, Sorokin went 1-2-1 with a .902 SV% in that stretch.

Varlamov remains in COVID-19 protocol on Monday, so Cory Schneider has been recalled from Bridgeport (AHL). Schneider will likely backup Ilya Sorokin on Tuesday and Varlamov should be eligible to re-join the team prior to Thursday's game vs. the Bruins.
