Alexandar Georgiev looked a little like a boxer after a prize fight in his postgame Zoom press conference, with his left eye looking a little swollen and starting to become a little discolored.

The Rangers goaltender said he was OK, though. He was cut above the eye when Boston forward Nick Ritchie fell on him in the goal crease in the first period of Sunday’s 4-1 loss to the Boston Bruins at the Garden.
