Varlamov will draw the start Wednesday against the Canadiens.

Analysis:

Varlamov lasted less than five minutes in his last start -- allowing a goal on Buffalo's first two shots before receiving the hook -- so he'll be looking to turn it around Wednesday. He'll draw a slumping Canadiens squad that has struggled to produce much offensively of late.
