The Islanders were one bad game from a goaltender away from a full-on crisis that might have even overshadowed the end of their season. But even as Ilya Sorokin’s struggles have relegated him to backup duties for the rest of the postseason, as long as it may go, Semyon Varlamov has not wavered one bit. Varlamov put together another strong and winning performance Saturday, stopping 42 of 44 shots on his birthday to help save the season in a 3-2 double-overtime victory over the Hurricanes to force Game 5 of the series Tuesday night.
