Islanders vs Avalanche

New York Islanders head coach Lane Lambert will speak with the media at 5 PM to give updates.

With Ilya Sorokin playing last night, the belief is that Semyon Varlamov will get the start in goal. Varlamov spent eight seasons as a member of the Avalanche and is 1-1-0, with a 2.53 GAA and a .917 SV% in two starts this season.

Pavel Francouz started for the Avalanche on Friday night, as former New York Rangers netminder Alexandar Georgiev (4-0-1, 2.56 GAA, .921 SV%) is likely to start against the Islanders.
