Islanders' Semyon Varlamov: Strong in shootout loss
Semyon Varlamov surrendered one goal on 31 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames.Varlamov couldn't win a third straight start, but he has given up no more than two goals in his last four outings. The 36-year-old was bested by Rasmus Andersson on a power-play tally in the third period, and the Flames also converted two of their three shootout attempts. Varlamov is down to a 3-3-2 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .903 save percentage over eight starts. He continues to back up Ilya Sorokin, but Varlamov has gotten a start roughly once a week -- that's enough action to be worth a look in fantasy. The New York Islanders' five-game road trip ends Thursday in a matchup with the Red Wings.

Islanders' Semyon Varlamov: Game sharpening into focus
Semyon Varlamov made 28 saves in a 4-2 win over Ottawa on Thursday.Varlamov benefited from a relative outburst in scoring from his team, which sits in the bottom quarter of the league in terms of goals scored. And his own game has settled recently, too. Varlamov has allowed just three goals in his last two starts (1-1-0) after seeing 15 whiz past in his four games prior.
