| Ah, wonky groin? No problem! |
Today, April 27th, is Capitals goaltender Semyon Varlamov's 23rd birthday, so wishes are in order for the young Russian. Varly struggled with his typical groin and knee injuries this year, but when he was healthy, was as his usual solid self. He registered 11 wins, a 2.23 GAA, and a .924 Save% in 27 starts, also adding two shutouts on the campaign.
The highlight of his year was, without a doubt, his stellar performance in the Winter Classic, where he made 32 saves on 33 shots in a 3-1 Caps win. With the steady play of Michal Neuvirth throughout the season, however, Varly has taken a backseat to the young Czech so far in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs.
