The Stars select Ty Dellandrea with the No.13 overall pick.

In his second season with the Flint Firebirds, assistant captain Ty Dellandrea scored 27 goals with 32 assists (59 points) in 67 games. Dellandrea is the type of player you want on your team. He possesses decent size (6-foot, 183 lbs.) and works his tail off on every shift. What sets him apart from other two-way centres, is his offensive game. Despite playing on the worst team in the OHL’s Western Conference, Dellandrea was able to raise his draft stock by leading the team in goals and finishing second in points.

The Red Wings have assigned Evgeny Svechnikov to Grand Rapids (AHL).

Svechnikov picked up two goals and two assists (four points) in 14 games during his call-up. The Red Wings season is virtually over, but the Griffins’ isn’t so Detroit will return some reinforcements. The 21-year-old has collected seven goals and 15 assists (22 points) in 52 games with Grand Rapids this season.

Georgiev will start Monday vs. the Capitals.

Georgiev allowed one goal on 44 shots in the Rangers win over the Sabres on Saturday. It was a great outing for Georgiev, who is now 3-1-0 with a 2.72 GAA and .933 SV% on home ice this season. The 22-year-old will continue to get work with Henrik Lundqvist still ailing.

Georgiev will start Saturday vs. the Sabres.

Georgiev allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Rangers loss in Philadelphia on Thursday. After a hot start to his NHL career, Georgiev has now allowed at least three goals in his last four starts. Despite the recent struggles, he remains a pretty good option against a bad Sabres team.

Georgiev will start Wednesday vs. the Penguins.

Georgiev stopped 41 of 44 shots in the Rangers win over the Hurricanes on Monday. He has basically forced the Rangers to consider starting him as he continues to stand tall despite facing a barrage of shots. In his first four NHL starts, Georgiev has faced an average of 39.5 shots per game and has turned aside 93 percent of them. Tonight may be the stiffest test of his young career with the two-time Stanley Cup Champs coming to MSG.
