Varlamov will receive the start Sunday against the Sabres, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Analysis:

Varlamov's been a bit shaky in net recently, allowing three or more goals in three of his last four contests. However, he posted a strong performance against the Red Wings last time out (43 saves), and the opposing Sabres average the least amount of goals per game (2.14) in home games this season. His opposition in net (Robin Lehner) has also struggled mightily on home ice this season, so Varly may be a decent option in daily fantasy formats Sunday.
