Could 2024 4th rounder be the next half of a NY Islanders' Russian goalie tandem?
Briefly

Islanders fans have enjoyed elite goaltending, but with Semyon Varlamov aging and uncertain, attention shifts to Dmitry Gamzin. Gamzin, a 22-year-old Russian goaltender, was drafted 113th overall in 2024 and is considered a rising talent. He demonstrates excellent puck tracking, solid technique, and reacts calmly, which is crucial for a goalie. Last season with CSKA Moscow, he achieved a .928 save percentage and a 2.24 goals-against average. Although under contract for two more years with CSKA, his performance indicates he could be key for the Islanders' future.
