Semyon Varlamov starting between the pipes for Colorado to open the season

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov will start Thursday's season-opener on the road against the New York Rangers.

What It Means:

Varlamov made 23 starts for the Avs last season, going 6-17 with an awful .898 save percentage and 3.38 goals against average. He will likely split starts with Jonathan Bernier this season.

numberFire's models have Varlamov as by far the day's worst fantasy goalie, projecting him for only 10.2 fantasy points -- coming from 27.7 saves, 3.7 goals against and a 23.0% chance of scoring a win. He offers weak value for $7,600 on FanDuel.
