In the moments after the 6-2 victory over the Islanders on Monday night, Rangers coach David Quinn was asked if he was tempted to give goaltender Alexandar Georgiev a second consecutive start, in Thursday’s return match with the Isles at Nassau Coliseum.
“Yeah, it is tempting,’’ Quinn said. “Yes.’’
Quinn wasn’t ready to announce if he would, indeed, start Georgiev on Thursday. And the Rangers didn’t practice Tuesday, so the coach had an extra night to sleep on it.
