Semyon Varlamov Set to Start for Islanders Against Predators

Semyon Varlamov will defend the road crease for the New York Islanders in Tuesday's matchup against the Nashville Predators. The 38-year-old goaltender earns his second start in five days following a strong 24-save performance in an overtime loss to the Kings on Thursday. Through three appearances this season, Varlamov has compiled an 0-1-2 record alongside a 2.25 goals-against average and an .899 save percentage while serving as the primary backup behind Ilya Sorokin.
