Varlamov (groin) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Analysis:

The Avs likely made the move just to open up an extra roster spot, as Varlamov wasn't set to travel with the team for their next three games. Varlamov was able to get in an on-ice workout Wednesday, but won't be able to practice with the rest of the Avs until they return from their road trip, which concludes Sunday.
