With Igor Shesterkin having started Saturday’s game at Madison Square Garden, Rangers coach David Quinn opted to start Alexandar Georgiev in goal Sunday for the second game of the back-to-back weekend set against the Devils.
"Georgie’s like 19-4 with four days rest the last two years,’’ Quinn said in explaining the choice to go with Georgiev. "He's a good goalie. This isn't like we feel like we have to keep playing ‘Shesty’ over and over again, although Shesty certainly has elevated his game. But Georgie earned an opportunity to play, and you're gonna need two goalies down the stretch here.
