Rangers' Alexandar Georgiev: Moved to minors for break

While Henrik Lundqvist will get a break over the next week, Georgiev will take the time to hone his skills at the AHL level, with Hartford scheduled for six games between Friday and the end of the Rangers' long layoff. Georgiev will likely resume his backup role with New York following the break.

Neither netminder had much luck in this wild affair, as both teams scored at least one goal in every period. This is the second time in his last four starts that Georgiev has coughed up at least six goals, leaving the Rangers with a goaltending dilemma on their hands as Henrik Lundqvist has been little better in recent weeks.

Rangers head coach David Quinn stated that Henrik Lundqvist would be getting a "mental break," so Georgiev will work between the pipes for the second consecutive game.

This news comes as a bit of a surprise as Georgiev started Saturday's contest. He allowed just one goal against the Islanders and earned the victory, his sixth win in 15 appearances this season. Both he and Henrik Lundqvist have struggled mightily this season and they both own a GAA above 3.00. Neither Rangers netminder is a reliable fantasy option at this point.

It's his first win since Dec. 18, and Georgiev posted a rough 3.90 GAA and .890 save percentage in five games between the victories. Henrik Lundqvist has been struggling lately, but his 22-year-old backup hasn't exactly been making a push to take starts away from the veteran.
