Avalanche putting Semyon Varlamov in goal Thursday

Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov will be the starter Thursday night versus the Chicago Blackhawks.

What It Means:

It's a tough draw for Varlamov against a Blackhawks team that currently ranks third in the NHL in scoring at 3.50 goals for per game. He's dropped his past three while posting a 3.18 goals against average and .900 save percentage so far on the year.

Varlamov is numberFire's 22nd-ranked goalie option on a deep 12-game slate, with a projection of 2.88 goals allowed on 29.98 shot attempts. We give him only a 37.0 percent chance of earning the win and recommend looking elsewhere while filling out your DFS roster.
