Alexandar Georgiev isn’t expecting or even hoping to stare down another 56-shot barrage Saturday for the Rangers, but the backup goalie vows to be ready if that many pucks once again are fired his way.
Georgiev stopped a career-high 55 of 56 shots from the high-powered Maple Leafs in a 4-1 victory at the Garden on Feb. 10 — his 23rd birthday. And he will be between the pipes against the Maple Leafs again Saturday night, according to Rangers coach David Quinn.
“It was one of the games that went pretty well for me, you could say that,” Georgiev said with a smile after practice Friday.
