The Washington Capitals have recalled G Semyon Varlamov from Hershey. Varlamov has been out with a knee injury since December 7th. He made a rehab start in Hershey this weekend, recording 26 saves in a 5-4 Bears win over Adirondack.
The Washington Capitals have benefited from a dynamic duo of veteran Jose Theodore and rookie Michal Neuvirth between the pipes during this incredible 14 game winning streak.
Now Varly makes his return. Varlamov has posted a 12-1 record this season with a GAA of 2.21 and a save percentage of .920. The interesting question looming here is, how does Varlamov fit into the current chemistry between the pipes? Does Neuvirth, despite sensational play in the Net, return to Hershey? Should he? If not, how does HC Bruce Boudreau balance three goalies playing time, particularly with veteran Jose Theodore playing the best net minding of his Washington Capitals tenure?
One thing is clear, between Varlamov, Neuvirth, and Hershey's spectacular goalie Braden Holtby, the Caps are loaded at young talent between the pipes. It will be interesting to watch how this turns out. There is no doubt, the success Neuvirth has had during Varlamov's injury most certainly ramps pressure up on #40, both from a play perspective and a staying healthy perspective.
Enjoy Coach Boudreau. Dicsuss it.
