Former Capital Semyon Varlamov had an incredible year for the Colorado Avalanche, taking the Avs from last to first in the standings. He is likely to win the Vezina Trophy in June as the league’s best goaltender.
Unfortunately for Varly, this season — like many in the past — ends with a bitter taste in his mouth. SemyonĀ VarlamovĀ played in another game seven, and Semyon Varlamov in game sevens is not very good.
Against the Wild on Wednesday, Varly played his first game seven in four years — since he put up an .875 save percentageĀ against the Montreal Canadiens. Varly was shaky again against Minnesota, making 30 saves on 35 shots for a .857 save percentage.Ā He gaveĀ up the series-winning goal to Nino Niederreiter five minutesĀ into overtime.
Varlamov is 1-for-4 in game sevens in his career with aĀ lifetime .857 save percentage.
There’s only one thing left to do.
