New York Islanders Update
Goaltender Semyon Varlamov is recovering well from knee surgeries and aims to return as Ilya Sorokin’s backup, with general manager Mathieu Darche expressing optimism about his health and performance. The Islanders are also considering signing additional goaltenders for insurance, potentially including last year’s backup, David Rittich. In the recent NHL draft, the team focused on bolstering its defense, selecting three defensemen, and acquiring Ryan Healey from the Wild. Additionally, Darche plans to give prospect Isaiah George a chance at the NHL level, potentially impacting roster decisions.
