The Washington Capitals have recalled
goaltender Semyon Varlamov from the club's American Hockey League affiliate in
Hershey.
Varlamov last played for the Capitals on December 7 when he turned aside 26
shots in a 3-0 victory at Tampa Bay, then missed nine games with a lower body
injury and was sent to Hershey in late December. He made only two starts for
the Bears, one on January 3 and another on February 7.
The 21-year-old Russian, who was selected for his country's Olympic squad, has
a record of 12-1-2 with a 2.21 goals-against average and a .924 save
percentage in 16 games for Washington this season.
Varlamov made his NHL debut last season and has a mark of 16-1-3 with a 2.25
GAA in 22 career regular-season games.
