The Rangers have one more game (Saturday) before their bye week meets the All-Star break, so Georgiev will go to the AHL to get some work in. Georgiev has gone 2-6-0 with a 3.30 GAA and .890 SV% in his previous eight games with Hartford while doing this dance.
Georgiev stopped 24 of 25 shots in the Rangers win over the Islanders on Saturday afternoon. Georgiev will start for the second straight day as Henrik Lundqvist gets a “mental break.” Despite stout outing yesterday, Georgiev has gone 3-6-0 with a 3.76 GAA and .890 SV% on the road this season.
Georgiev stopped all eight shots that he faced after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers loss in Arizona on Sunday. Georgiev has not registered a win since December 18th, allowing a combined 11 goals on 97 shots (.887 SV%) in four appearances. He comes into Tuesday’s game at 2-5-0 with a 4.27 GAA and .881 SV% on the road.
Vlasic remained off of the ice during Monday’s morning skate and will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury. The Sharks did just fine without Vlasic vs. the No.1 team in the NHL over the weekend so expect them to be patient with Vlasic.
Head coach Pete DeBoer said that Vlasic will not play Saturday but did not give a reason why. Tonight’s matchup with the high-powered Lightning will be tough without Vlasic, Justin Braun or Radim Simek.
Georgiev allowed one goal on seven shots after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers’ 7-2 loss to the Penguins on Wednesday. The 22-year-old hasn’t play often this season (nine starts, two relief appearances) but comes into Friday at 5-5-0 with a 3.22 GAA and .898 SV%. Tonight he takes on an Avalanche team that has cooled off recently, losing six in a row and 10 of their last 12 (2-7-3).
Georgiev stopped 14 of 15 shots in the Rangers win over the Ducks on Tuesday. It was easy night for Georgiev, who will have a much more difficult matchup tonight against the Maple Leafs. Georgiev has gone 2-3-0 with a 4.28 GAA and .877 SV% on the road this season and should be left on the waiver wire tonight.

Georgiev will make his first start since December 1st. Georgiev surrendered five goals on 41 shots in the Rangers loss in Montreal that night and has gone 4-4-0 with a 3.37 GAA and .899 SV% in eight games this season. He will face a Ducks team that is on the tail-end of back-to-back but have won nine of their last 10 games.
With both Connor Murphy and Erik Gustafsson set to be in the lineup on Friday, Rutta was waived on Thursday. This will be Rutta’s first trip to the AHL.
Thornton missed Wednesday’s practice and is questionable to play Thursday vs. the Stars. The Sharks are being vague on Thornton’s injury but the fact he is a game-time decision suggests that it is minor. Thornton has just 12 points (4G / 8A) in 23 games this season.
Kunin has spent the last two-plus months in Iowa working his way back from knee surgery and an injury to Mikko Koivu has finally opened the door for an NHL return. The 2016 No.15 overall pick has registered 15 points (8G / 7A) in 21 games with Iowa this season.
The Rangers don’t play until Saturday so they will use this break to get Georgiev some playing time because Henrik Lundqvist will almost certainly start their only game of the week. Georgiev has gone 2-1-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .902 SV% in the AHL this season.
Georgiev surrendered four goals on 27 shots in the Rangers loss to the Capitals last Saturday. Georgiev was 3-2-1 with a 2.47 GAA, .915 SV% and one shutout in five appearances in November. It’s hard to tell exactly what you’re going to get from the 22-year-old from start-to-start, so it’s hard to trust him tonight in Montreal. The Habs are averaging 3.00 goals per game (t-16th) this season.
White missed Friday’s game in Dallas with an undisclosed injury but will return to the Senators lineup on Monday. White has enjoyed a quality season, picking up seven goals and six assists (13 points) in 22 games. White will skate on the second line with Brady Tkachuk and Mark Stone.
