Caps Recall Semyon Varlamov

The Washington Capitals have recalled G Semyon Varlamov from Hershey. Varlamov has been out with a knee injury since December 7th. He made a rehab start in Hershey this weekend, recording 26 saves in a 5-4 Bears win over Adirondack.

The Washington Capitals have benefited from a dynamic duo of veteran Jose Theodore and rookie Michal Neuvirth between the pipes during this incredible 14 game winning streak.

Now Varly makes his return. Varlamov has posted a 12-1 record this season with a GAA of 2.21 and a save percentage of .920. The interesting question looming here is, how does Varlamov fit into the current chemistry between the pipes? Does Neuvirth, despite sensational play in the Net, return to Hershey? Should he? If not, how does HC Bruce Boudreau balance three goalies playing time, particularly with veteran Jose Theodore playing the best net minding of his Washington Capitals tenure?
