Varlamov backstops Avs to big victory
Semyon Varlamov - G - Colorado Avalanche
March 9, 2013 - 5:40 AM ET

Semyon Varlamov stopped 31 of 33 shots Friday night to lead the Avalanche to a huge 6-2 win over the NHL leading Chicago Blackhawks in Denver.

Varlamov hasn't been very consistent this season, but has shown signs of light and should improve as the Avs have sparkplugs Ryan O'Reilly and Gabriel Landeskog back in their lineup for good.
