Avalanche's Semyon Varlamov: Shut down for the remainder of the season

Varlamov will undergo season-ending hip surgery in an attempt to repair his injured groin.

Analysis:

The goaltender last played Jan. 17 and has dealt with this injury for nearly the entire season. While he's proven to be an top-tier NHL goaltender in past seasons, Varlamov has struggled mightily during this campaign (6-17-1, 3.38 GAA, .898 save percentage). In Varlamov's absence, Calvin Pickard will take the lion's share of starts and Spencer Martin will serve as the team's backup.
