Varlamov (groin) worked out in full pads Wednesday, Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Varlamov took part in activity on the side by himself, suggesting he's not yet close to a return from the groin injury. He won't travel with the Avs for their three-game road trip that comes to an end Sunday, but if he can progress to full practice by that time, he could be ready to play at some point next week.
