Analysis:
Varlamov has been away from game action since Jan. 23, due to the All-Star break and appeared in court as a defendant in a civil lawsuit stemming from a domestic issue that took place in 2013. He ended up winning the case, and with the legal issue behind him, Varlamov can focus on helping the Avs secure a spot in the postseason. As of Friday, Colorado (27-23-4) sits first in the hunt for a wild-card spot among Western Conference teams. Varly has made 35 starts this season, at times mixing brilliant performances with complete duds leading to a 2.59 GAA and .918 save percentage.
