The Colorado Avalanche have an Alexandar Georgiev problem. And the 2024-25 NHL season is only three games old.
After being pulled in his first two starts due to poor performances, Georgiev received support from Jared Bednar, who assured the media that Georgiev was “the guy.” The 28-year-old followed up with another consistent performance, giving up five goals as Patrick Roy’s New York Islanders wiped the floor with Colorado in a 6-2 rout.
Is Georgiev the guy? Probably not for long. Justus Annunen should have been the starter all along. Furthermore, on Friday, the Avs claimed netminder Kappo Kahkonen off waivers from the Jets.
