Soon to be former Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov has done the team a solid. He has regained his former glory as a net minder. On Monday night, he recorded his 25th NHL shutout. On Wednesday night, he recorded another win.
Colorado might yet make the playoffs — thanks to Wednesday’s win, they occupy a spot. However, even if they do so, they’re not going to go far. The team is still in the youth movement, which is why the Avs are highly unlikely to re-sign Varlamov.
Semyon Varlamov is in the fifth year of a five-year contract worth $29.
