Varlamov Starting Sunday vs. Ducks
Semyon Varlamov will defend the road net Sunday against Anaheim, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com. Varlamov has gone 6-7-3 this season with two shutouts, a 2.91 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 18 appearances. He will get the first half of the Islanders’ back-to-back, which could set up Ilya Sorokin to play in Monday’s road matchup against the Kings. The Ducks rank 30th in the league this campaign with 2.62 goals per contest.
Vatrano Reaches 50-Point Mark
Frank Vatrano notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday’s 6-2 loss to the Stars. The helper was Vatrano’s 50th point of the season, with this being the first time he’s reached that milestone. The 29-year-old has three goals and two assists over his last five outings. For the season, he’s added 193 shots on net, 121 hits, 69 PIM, 64 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 63 appearances. Vatrano is a virtual lock to stay in the top six, and he could push for the 60-point mark over the rest of the campaign.
