After being acquired in a trade from the Colorado Avalanche earlier this week that primarily exchanged him with Mackenzie Blackwood, Georgiev will make his first start with the Sharks on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. The 28-year-old Georgiev was wildly inconsistent in Colorado this season, posting a 3.38 GAA and .874 SV% in 18 games (8-7-0), but was slightly better lately, posting a .897 SV% in his 12 most recent appearances (7-3-0).

He's got a good chance of getting back in the win column on Wednesday as the Sabres enter action as very slight underdogs at +125 on the money line.
Danforth (lower-body) missed practice on Wednesday and is hopeful to play vs. Washington on Thursday.
Blue Jackets head coach Dean Evason was optimistic that Danforth will be able to play on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals. The 31-year-old Danforth is averaging a career-high 15:20 time-on-ice and has eight points (3G / 5A) in 25 games this season.

Dahlin (back spasms) has been placed on IR retroactive to December 5th.
Dahlin has missed the last two games due to back spams and will likely miss at least two more but could return this weekend. The 24-year-old Dahlin has 19 points (6G / 13A) through 25 games this season and is a crushing blow for a Sabres club amid a season-worst six-game losing skid.
San Jose has acquired Alexandar Georgiev, Nikolai Kovalenko, a 2026 2nd round pick and a 2025 5th round pick from Colorado for Mackenzie Blackwood, Givani Smith, and a 2027 5th round pick.
Colorado's goaltending troubles have been well-documented this season, highlighted by Georgiev's ugly 3.38 GAA and .874 SV% in 18 appearances (8-7-0). As a result, Georgiev has been traded, along with Nikolai Kovalenko, a 2026 second-round pick, and a 2025 fifth-round pick, to the San Jose Sharks in return for Mackenzie Blackwood, Givani Smith, and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Georgiev will likely have the opportunity to reestablish himself as a reliable starter in San Jose. That said, given San Jose's sluggish defense, Georgiev will likely fall out of fantasy hockey relevance.
Dahlin (back spasms) had a rehab skate on Monday and is a possibility to return for the weekend.
