On Tuesday, the New York Islanders came up with a gem of a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Things looked scary when the Isles blew a 3-0 lead, which they had on just nine shots, but they were able to do enough to get the win.
One of the best parts about this game was goaltender Semyon Varlamov’s performance.
After a terrible start to 2020, it was a relief for fans and the players to see the goalie come up with 35 saves. Yes, he is a big reason why the team blew the lead, after giving up three-even strength goals, but he got it together quickly to prevent the Flyers from scoring any further goals.
