As the only goaltender in the Rangers’ development camp with NHL experience, Alexandar Georgiev is not buying into the notion that the roster spot behind Henrik Lundqvist is his to lose.
“I think this is my roster spot to win,” the Bulgarian-Russian told The Post at camp this week.
When Ondrej Pavelec left with a sprained MCL in the first period of a February game against the Flames, the door opened for Georgiev. With Pavelec entering free agency this summer, it leaves a gaping hole in the Blueshirts lineup for the 6-foot-1 netminder.
Already with a franchise goalie in Lundqvist, who has three more years on his contract, Georgiev is competing among Adam Huska (UConn), Olof Lindbom (Sweden U18), and Tyler Wall (UMass-Lowell) for a contract.
