Fantastic Varly earns 2nd shutout in KHL

Semyon
Varlamov continues in good results. He is currently playing his best of the
entire career. Varlay has appeared in his 10th duel in the KHL for
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. The Russian team faced the HC Slovan Bratislava at the
home ice. They had no problems and finished the easy win 4:0. Varlamov saved
all 32 shots and earned his second shutout of the season. He did it for the first
time two and half weeks ago.
Varlamov is nothing, but impressing this year. The Avalanche number one goalie played 10
games in the KHL and won 8 of them. Three wins came in the shootouts. His
save percentage is 94.8 % and GAA is 1.75. We can say without doubt, he is the
best goalie in the world at the present.
After yesterday´s appearance of Matt Duchene and today´s
Varlamov, the third player of the Colorado Avalanche was back in the action
after long break in the all European hockey leagues. Gabriel Landeskog did not gain a point in the 2-tier Swedish league
for Djurgarden. The local team lost the third straight game; overall the 7th
of last 8 games. Now, it was 3:5 loss.
