Semyon Varlamov Evaluated For Role As Islanders Weigh Roster Plans

Semyon Varlamov is a full participant at Islanders training camp following two partial knee replacements. The 38-year-old veteran is competing for a key role, though his health remains a central factor in whether coach Pete DeBoer and management will utilize a rare three-goalie system to start the season. Varlamov is expected to see action in upcoming preseason games against the New York Rangers as the team evaluates his readiness for regular-season action.
