NEWARK – Alexandar Georgiev had allowed five goals in each of his last two starts and got pulled in one of them, and nearly got pulled in the other, so the 23-year-old Russian probably needed a strong game Saturday and he got it by making 33 saves to earn his third career shutout in the Rangers' 4-0 win over the Devils.
“Yeah, obviously, it feels much better when you don’t play that many games, to get yourself a bit of confidence with a good game,’’ Georgiev said.
