OTTAWA, Ontatio — If this is going to be the way Alex Georgiev plays all season, then giving Henrik Lundqvist fewer starts doesn’t figure to be a problem.
Georgiev made his season debut and was terrific in stopping 31 shots in the Rangers’ 4-1 win over the Senators here on Saturday night.
“I thought Georgie had a strong game,” coach David Quinn said. “I liked a lot about his game.”
The Rangers were certainly tighter defensively than they were in the season-opening, 6-4 win over the Jets on Thursday night at the Garden, when Lundqvist faced 47 shots.
