még nem 100%, de sajnos valószínű:

Updating a previous report, the Avalanche haven't placed Varlamov (groin) on injured reserve, but will do so if he is unable to start Thursday against the Senators, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post reports.

The Avs' official website lists Varlamov on injured reserve, but no roster move will become official until the team assesses the goalie's health during pregame warmups. Coach Patrick Roy made it known at morning skate earlier in the day that the team doesn't want to play Varlamov if his groin is bothering him in any capacity, so backup Reto Berra will be on standby to man the net Thursday as a contingency plan.
