Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev is scheduled to start Wednesday’s home game for the Rangers against the Boston Bruins, his first action since the reported fight he had with defenseman Tony DeAngelo that led to DeAngelo’s banishment from the team.
Rangers coach David Quinn said Tuesday the decision was not connected in any way with the fact that the Rangers (4-5-2) lost Monday night to the Islanders, with Igor Shesterkin in goal.
