Georgiev will start Monday vs. the Islanders.

Georgiev allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Rangers' 2-1 loss in Vancouver on January 4th. It was a better outing for Georgiev, who allowed a combined 16 goals in his previous three outings. He has struggled at Madison Square Garden (2-5-1 | 3.41 GAA | .893 SV%) this season but has been great against the Islanders in his young career, going 2-1-0 with a 0.87 GAA, .967 SV% and one shutout in three starts.

Couture is expected to miss six weeks with a fractured ankle.

Couture was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Blues with an obvious lower-body injury that he suffered while crashing into the end boards. Couture had to be helped off of the ice and it didn't look good right away. The early reports are that Couture suffered a fractured ankle and is "week-to-week" but will likely be out until mid-February. Look for the Sharks to release a detailed timetable in the coming 24 hours.

Georgiev will start Tuesday in Edmonton.

Georgiev surrendered four goals on 48 shots in the Rangers 5-4 overtime win in Toronto on Saturday. It was another busy night for Georgiev, who is now 4-3-0 with a 2.87 GAA, .919 SV% and one shutout in seven starts in December. He has played great on the road this year, going 8-2-0 in 10 starts, while Edmonton has lost eight of their last 10 home games (2-6-2) while averaging just 2.30 goals per game.

Georgiev will start Saturday in Toronto.

Georgiev allowed six goals on 40 shots in the Rangers 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on December 20th. Henrik Lundqvist has started the last three games, including last night, so Georgiev will start against the Maple Leafs again tonight. He is 2-2-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .932 SV% in four career starts against Toronto.

The Maple Leafs have recalled Timothy Liljegren from Toronto (AHL).

Liljegren could make his NHL debut Saturday vs. the Rangers. It's hard to imagine the Maple Leafs recalling one of their top defensive prospects to sit as a healthy scratch when they already have seven healthy blueliners on the roster. Liljegren has three goals and 14 assists to lead all Marlies defensemen with 17 points in 27 games.

Georgiev will start Friday vs. the Maple Leafs.

Georgiev allowed three goals on 22 shots in the Rangers loss to the Predators on Monday. Georgiev has won five of his last seven starts while posting a 2.16 GAA, .936 SV% and two shutouts. Tonight he faces a Maple Leafs team that he had a lot of success against in 2018-19, going 2-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .956 SV% in three games vs. Toronto.

Georgiev will start Monday vs. the Predators.

Georgiev surrendered three goals on just 18 shots but walked away with the win last Thursday in San Jose. Henrik Lundqvist started Saturday's shootout loss in Anaheim, so Georgiev will draw Monday's home game. Georgiev has won five of his last six outings while posting a 2.01 GAA and .943 SV%--12th and sixth-best in the NHL over that stretch.
