Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov will be out of action for at least another two weeks.
Avalanche coach Jared Bednar announced on Wednesday that his starter has been shut down through the All-Star break as he continues to deal with groin troubles.
Varlamov had just returned after missing three weeks with a groin pull.
"This is no longer a day-to-day thing," Bednar said, according to the team.
The Avalanche have four games before taking a breather for All-Star weekend.
Varlamov's season has reflected that of the last-place Avalanche. He's taken six wins from 24 starts, sporting an .898 save percentage.
