Varlamov (illness) took part in an optional skate Wednesday, Terry Frei of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Considering the Avalanche haven't recalled a netminder and Varlamov took part in the morning skate, it's pretty safe to say the veteran netminder should be available as the backup to Calvin Pickard on Wednesday. However, his next chance to start doesn't come until Saturday. Expect another update when he's scheduled to be in the crease again.
