New York in trouble again

Scoring not there, continue to give up forty shot games which is not who they are. Varlamov holds them in with strong play, but his soft goal again is a killer. Let's be clear Varlamov gave up soft goals in bubble, and often before 3/9/2021, it's a career trend he largely shook for many of the 56 games, and kept writing he was playing above his career norms, but Boston easily could have had three goals against any goalie with how they kept pressuring, and how Varlamov almost stole the game. New York struggled with their size, speed, and dominated the puck, and both teams got an extra day of rest.
