Semyon Varlamov gets 39th career shutout as Islanders beat Blue Jackets

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Semyon Varlamov stopped 35 shots for his 39th career shutout, leading the New York Islanders to a 2-0 win Saturday night for their second straight victory and first on the road.

Kyle Palmieri and Matt Martin scored for New York in Varlamov first win of the season.

"He's been sharp right from the get-go at the start of training camp," Islanders coach Lane Lambert said of Varlamov. "He's a very, very good goalie. We have a ton of confidence when he's in the net."

Spencer Martin had 31 saves for Columbus, which has lost three straight games and their last two at home.
