Georgiev stopped all 29 shots that he faced in the Rangers 5-0 shutout win over the Islanders on Wednesday. It was the first shutout of Georgiev’s career and 22-year-old is now 4-0-0 wile stopping 127 of 135 shots (.941 SV%) in his last four starts. He has yet to lost in two starts at Madison Square Garden, but has a tough matchup with the Capitals in town.

Lyon will make his first NHL start of the season tonight in Buffalo. He was 2-2-0 with a 3.54 GAA and .910 SV% in four starts with Lehigh Valley (AHL) before being called-up. Lyon is 4-2-1 with a 2.75 GAA and .905 SV% in 11 career NHL appearances.

Georgiev allowed one goal on six shots after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers loss to the Islanders last Thursday. With the Islanders in town tonight, Georgiev will get another crack at them. The 22-year-old netminder is 3-2-0 with a 3.60 GAA and .894 SV% in the NHL this season and 2-1-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .902 SV% in three AHL starts.

Lyon has gone 2-2-0 with a 3.54 GAA and .910 SV% in four starts with the Phantoms this season. Lyon has been recalled because Brian Elliott left Thursday’s game with an apparent groin injury. Lyon would likely share the crease with Calvin Pickard if Elliott misses time.


Thompson has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, but will replace Zemgus Girgensons on Saturday afternoon. Thompson has registered one assist and 12 shots in nine games far this season.

Lyon came up to backup Calvin Pickard on Monday, but with Brian Elliott returning to practice on Wednesday, Lyon heads back to the Phantoms, where he is 2-1-0 with a 2.68 GAA and .934 SV% in three games.

Lyon missed the start of the season but has gone 2-1-0 with a 2.68 GAA and .934 SV% in three games with Lehigh Valley since. Lyon has been called up because Brain Elliott is day-to-day, Michal Neuvirth is on IR and Lyon should backup Calvin Pickard.







Greenway has just one assist in nine games with the Wild this season and just two assists in his first 15 career games. He heads to Iowa to work on his game and also suggests that Joel Eriksson Ek will be back this weekend.

Tuch has missed the first eight games of the season with a lower-body injury, but is expected to play vs. the Canucks on Wednesday. Tuch will skate on the second line with Erik Haula and Max Pacioretty. The 22-year-old will look to build off of a 37-point (15G / 22A) rookie campaign, where he also added 10 points (6G / 4A) in 20 playoff games.

Georgiev allowed seven goals on 39 shots in the Rangers loss in Carolina on October 7th. Georgiev went down to the AHL last week to get some starts in, going 1-1-0 with a 3.02 GAA and .905 SV%. The 22-year-old draws a really difficult matchup tonight with the Panthers in town—they are tied for 11th in scoring (3.33 GF/PG) through their first six games.

Georgiev got two starts with the Wolf Pack while Henrik Lundqvist started the Rangers’ three games last weeks. Georgiev went 1-1-0 while allowing six goals on 63 shots (.905 SV%) in his tow starts and returns to the NHL, where he might not start a game for a few weeks—their next back-to-back isn’t until Nov.9-Nov.10.

Thompson has not recorded a point while averaging 11:44 TOI/GM in his first seven games as a Sabre. Johan Larsson will draw in and take Thompson’s spot in the bottom-6.
