Varlamov backs up Sorokin in Minnesota as Islanders visit Wild
Semyon Varlamov is slated to back up Ilya Sorokin (confirmed) tonight as the New York Islanders (6-4-2) visit the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena. With no fresh injury updates and Sorokin handling the starting duties, the veteran netminder will watch from the bench in a matchup where the Islanders enter as road underdogs in an average scoring environment. The Wild are expected to counter with Jesper Wallstedt (unconfirmed) in goal. While Varlamov has been steady when called upon, logging a 2.33 GAA across three appearances, his role tonight is strictly backup duty.
With Sorokin between the pipes tonight, our data projects no saves, no fantasy points, and an absent win chance for Varlamov. Across the Islanders' three-game schedule this week, our models project roughly 35 saves and 3.0 fantasy points, buoyed by his earlier victory against Nashville. After tonight's tilt, New York has just one game remaining this week on Saturday against Edmonton, meaning Varlamov will likely have to wait for his next starting nod. He holds no fantasy utility while on the bench this evening. Today’s action: Bench.
