40 Alexandar Georgiev G

Georgiev surrendered three goals on 28 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Pavel Buchnevich's tally late in the third period prevented Georgiev from taking the loss in regulation, but the Avalanche's J.T. Compher won it with a deflected goal in overtime. Georgiev slipped to 17-14-2 with a 3.04 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 34 appearances. The 24-year-old goalie will likely be used sparingly as rookie Igor Shesterkin seems to have a grip on the starting job at this point.

Georgiev will patrol the blue paint for Wednesday's contest in Colorado.

Georgiev's last start came on March 5, when he earned an overtime win over Washington despite allowing five goals. The 24-year-old netminder actually has better numbers on the road this season, recording a .922 save percentage and 2.88 GAA in 18 away games. Fortunately for Georgiev and the Rangers, the Avalanche will be without Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) for Wednesday's contest.

Georgiev made 29 saves in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over Washington.

Georgiev overcame a pair of third-period snipes from Alex Ovechkin, the second of which tied the game at five apiece with 43 seconds remaining in regulation. The Bulgarian-Russian netminder has looked shaky of late with 12 goals allowed over his past three starts, but the most important result for a Rangers team chasing a playoff spot was that Georgiev managed to put a halt to the team's three-game slide. He has Mika Zibanejad (five goals in Thursday's contest) to thank for that.

Georgiev is slated to start between the pipes in Thursday's home matchup with Washington, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Georgiev hasn't been great recently, suffering back-to-back losses to the Flyers and Blues while posting a sub-par 3.54 GAA and .885 save percentage. The 24-year-old backstop will attempt to get back on track in a tough home matchup with a Capitals club that's 22-10-1 on the road this year.

Georgiev stopped 19 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Blues.

The final St. Louis goal was scored into an empty net. Georgiev wasn't busy, but he wasn't able to make an early 1-0 lead hold up en route to his second straight loss. The 24-year-old has a 2.98 GAA and .912 save percentage on the season, and he could soon return to a backup role once Igor Shesterkin (ribs) is fully healthy.

Georgiev will get the starting nod in Tuesday's home game versus the Blues, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Igor Shesterkin (ribs) could be back sooner than expected, but Georgiev will continue to handle the workload for now. He's been up and down lately, finishing four of the last six games over a .930 save percentage and the other two below an .890 mark. The defending champs will be a tough task, though, as they've won seven straight and scored three or more goals in six of those games.

Georgiev made 35 saves in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

After winning two straight games, Georgiev fell back to earth, allowing his most goals since he got torched for six by the Oilers on New Year's Eve. Igor Shesterkin (ribs) is out of action until some time in March, but so far it seems as though Georgiev will see the bulk of the action in net while the rookie is sidelined, with Henrik Lundqvist last getting a start Feb. 3.

Georgiev will protect the road goal Friday versus the Flyers, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Georgiev allowed two goals on 34 shots Thursday against the Canadiens, and head coach David Quinn is confident enough to go back to the 24-year-old on consecutive nights. Georgiev has a 16-12-1 record with a 2.94 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 30 appearances. The Flyers have averaged 3.58 goals per game at home this year, which ranks fifth in the league.

Georgiev made 32 saves in a 5-2 win over Montreal on Thursday.

Georgiev has won four of his last five starts. With Igor Shesterkin on the shelf, Georgiev will be the de facto starter on Broadway, at least short term. He also picked up his first assist in the game for those of you lucky enough to have that count as a forward point.

Per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today, Georgiev was the first goalie off the ice at Wednesday's morning skate, which suggests he'll get the start in goal in Thursday's road matchup with Montreal.

Georgiev has played well since mid-February, compiling a 3-1-0 record while posting an admirable 2.22 GAA and .936 save percentage. The 24-year-old Bulgarian will attempt to pick up his 16th win of the season in a favorable road matchup with a Canadiens club that's 13-15-6 at home this year.

Georgiev stopped 42 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

He looked to have the win in hand with the Rangers hold in a 3-1 lead late in the third period, but Georgiev got beaten twice in the final six minutes -- including Brock Nelson's tying goal with only 18 seconds left on the clock, Fortunately for the Rangers, Mika Zibanejad fired home the winner 28 seconds into extra time. Georgiev has won three of his last four starts, and with Igor Shesterkin (ribs) on the shelf, the 24-year-old could see the majority of action in net for the Rangers in the short term, although Henrik Lundqvist should be a factor as well.

Georgiev will tend the road twine Tuesday versus the Islanders, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Igor Shesterkin suffered a rib injury in a car accident Sunday, and he's expected to miss at least two weeks. Georgiev should see the most action as a result, but he and Henrik Lundqvist could work in a 1A-1B tandem going forward. The 24-year-old Georgiev has recorded a .912 save percentage and 14-12-1 record this season. The Islanders, who are adding heavily at the deadline and have won five straight home games, should provide a tough test.

Georgiev stopped 31 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.

Boston's final goal was scored into an empty net. Georgiev played well but didn't get enough offensive support to extend his winning streak to three games. He now sports a 2.98 GAA and .912 save percentage on the season, and he remains a candidate to be moved at the trade deadline with rookie Igor Shesterkin (ankle) poised to take over No. 1 duties once he's healthy.

Georgiev will start between the pipes for Sunday's home game against Boston, Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic reports.

With Igor Shesterkin (ankle) set to miss Sunday's action, Georgiev will make his third straight start. The Russian has been dominant in the past two starts with a 1.94 GAA and .937 save percentage over a pair of wins. The 24-year-old will face a tough matchup against a Bruins offense that ranks sixth in the league in goals per contest (3.32).

Georgiev turned aside 36 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

The 24-year-old netminder was especially huge in the second period, stopping 21 shots before Oliver Bjorkstrand finally beat him with only 68 seconds left in the frame. Georgiev has won back-to-back starts, and with Igor Shesterkin (ankle) on the mend and the trade deadline approaching, Georgiev could see a big workload in the short term if the team has decided to showcase him for a potential deal.

Georgiev will tend the twine in Columbus on Friday versus the Blue Jackets.

Georgiev picked up his 13th victory of the campaign Thursday and will get another crack at the net Friday with Igor Shesterkin still battling an ankle injury. Georgiev owns better numbers on the road (10-4-0 record, 2.92 GAA and .919 save percentage) than his home marks and the Blue Jackets are down several players, so he has a decent chance to extend the Rangers' winning streak to four.

Georgiev stopped 23 of 26 shots in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Wild on Thursday.

Georgiev was starting in place of Igor Shesterkin (ankle) and earned his first win since Jan. 13. He also improved to an impressive 10-4-0 on the road this season. Shesterkin was recently anointed the Rangers' No. 1 goaltender by head coach David Quinn, so Georgiev will have to continue to take advantage of his opportunities to get regular work in New York's three-man rotation.

Georgiev will guard the goal Thursday against the Wild in Minnesota, Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post reports.

While Igor Shesterkin was initially going to go Thursday, it will be Georgiev scratching the blue paint due to Shesterkin's ankle issue. Georgiev has had his ups and downs in the crease this season and enters the clash sporting a 3.12 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Surprisingly, Georgiev has fared much better on the road, carrying a 9-4-0 mark with a 2.93 GAA and a .922 save percentage away from Madison Square Garden.

Georgiev turned aside 25 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

The Rangers nearly bailed him out, storming back from a 3-0 deficit with two goals in the final three minutes, but the comeback attempt fell short. Georgiev continues to see a spotty workload as New York carries three goalies, but he could get an extra start or two before the trade deadline if the team decides to showcase him. On the season, the 23-year-old is 12-11-1 with a shaky 3.12 GAA and .908 save percentage.

Georgiev will guard the cage during Friday's home game versus the Sabres.

Georgiev struggled in his last start Jan. 21 against the Islanders, surrendering four goals on just 18 shots en route to a 4-2 defeat. The 23-year-old backstop will try to shake off the rust and bounce back in a favorable home matchup with a Buffalo team that's 8-14-4 on the road this year.
