Varlamov is 3-4-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .919 SV% so far this season. The Avs are banged up at forward and are having a hard time finding the back of the net. The Avs and Stars are very similar teams so it's a good matchup both ways.
Varlamov is coming into today's game having lost his last 3 starts and with the Avalanche riddled with injuries. Most importantly their captain Gabriel Landeskog. The matchup isn't great either as they take on a young electric Oilers team.
This marks Varlamov's 6th straight start this season. The Avalanche will be without their captain Gabriel Landeskog for the second game in a row. He has 2 wins in 5 starts with a 2.59 GAA and .919 SV% and will take on an always tough Canucks team tonight.
