Varlamov will start in net Tuesday against the Lightning.

Analysis:

Varlamov was expected to receive one of the next two games off between the pipes, and the fact that he will start Tuesday could mean Calvin Pickard will be between the pipes for Thursday's game against the Devils. The veteran netminder was pulled from his start Sunday after allowing four goals on 20 shots, possibly leading to his nod again Tuesday. He gets the Lightning on Monday, who enter the contest having emerged victorious in three of the last four games.
