\n Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov was the only thing standing in the way of Jakub Vrana lifting the Washington Capitals to their first win in their first-round series<\/a> Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

As a 1-1 game<\/a> went into overtime, Vrana jumped out on a breakaway after knocking down Andy Greene\u2019s shot. The Capitals left winger unloaded a hard shot that Varlamov stopped with his pads before following up on the rebound, which Varlamov also turned aside.<\/p>\n

On the subsequent play, Mathew Barzal buried the game-winner to give the Islanders a 2-1 victory and a 3-0 series lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery player plays a breakaway differently,\u201d Varlamov said on a Zoom call following the win. \u201cSome players prefer to shoot, some players prefer to make a move, as a goalie you just have to stay patient and see what the player is going to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I try to do, stay patient and see what the player is going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Varlamov has started every Islanders game this postseason, accumulating a 6-1 record and a .932 save percentage. He saved 22 of the 23 shots he faced Sunday, but said he felt as though it was a less active game for him.<\/p>\n

Facing just 117 total shots during the playoffs, Varlamov has liked what he\u2019s seen from the defense in front of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes it\u2019s very difficult to stay focused because you don\u2019t face as many shots,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you start a game you want to make a couple good saves, you always feel good after that. Sometimes you have to wait 10 minutes to make a save, but it\u2019s OK, I know we\u2019re playing very good defensively. I prefer to see that from the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head coach Barry Trotz had played both Varlmaov and current backup Thomas Greiss relatively evenly during the 2019-20 regular season, but after training camp 2.0, Varlamov earned the starting nod.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour goalie is your eraser,\u201d Trotz said. \u201cSometimes as a coach or a team, your goaltender can erase all your mistakes. We made a couple mistakes there and Varly erased it. Getting it for him is a good process, where you want to reward your goalie for bailing you out and you can bail him out with a win when you get that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

The Islanders went 0-for-5 on the power play as they continue to struggle with the man-advantage in the 2020 playoffs.<\/p>\n

Nick Leddy\u2019s power-play goal in Game 2 has been the Islanders\u2019 lone power-play tally since the start of the first-round series with the Capitals, in which they\u2019ve gone 1-for-14 with the man-advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have a really good penalty kill,\u201d Trotz said. \u201cWe had some looks and had some opportunities and didn\u2019t bury them. It\u2019s a little bit of both [our play and the Capitals\u2019 play]. One thing that you find in a playoff series is you\u2019re studying that team, they\u2019ve had an opportunity to study our power play for some time and now you\u2019re in a series where you\u2019re seeing the same people, same tendencies, coaching staffs are seeing the same things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s little adjustments we\u2019ve been making and they\u2019ve been making adjustments as well. A couple times we had some great looks, we just didn\u2019t execute them quick enough because they were being aggressive on us.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
