Varlamov stopped 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators. He also denied both Nashville shootout attempts.

Varlamov earned the win and posted a solid performance overall, coming up big throughout overtime and the shootout after the Predators erased a three-goal deficit in regulation. With Ilya Sorokin ahead of him in the Islanders' goaltending rotation, Varlamov remains a situational fantasy option, although this performance could help him earn additional starts.
