The New York Rangers have multiple goaltenders competing for the backup position behind Henrik Lundqvist this season. The Hartford Wolfpack will choose from that goaltending pool as well to find its starter.
If Alexandar Georgiev earns the NHL backup position, that leaves Marek Mazanec and Dustin Tokarski battling for the AHL starter position.
So should Mazanec or Tokarski be the starter in Hartford?
Both Mazanec and Tokarski have AHL experience and spent last season as AHL goaltenders. Tokarski played 39 regular season games for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the most out of the team’s goaltenders.
