#CBJ falls 2-0 to Varlamov and the Islanders.
That does it ... #CBJ shut out 2-0 by the #Isles at home. Much different kind of shutout than their 4-0 loss to Detroit, but still a shutout loss. Varlamov was outstanding with a 35-save blanking.
FINAL: Islanders 2, #CBJ 0 Not a bad effort, but the Jackets just couldn't get a goal. Hat tip to Varlamov, who gets the shutout. Back at it Monday in Dallas.
