Alexandar Georgiev has been great in calendar year 2019. Another strong performance vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, his latest start, only complicates the decision the New York Rangers should will have to make with their goaltending situation for 2019-20.
I went into detail at the beginning of the month on the impact Igor Shestyorkin’s arrival could have, and why when he comes to North America he should have every chance to win the backup job. Since writing that story I have done some more digging on the Rangers’ current backup, Georgiev, and how he’s played, and how it highlights the tough decisions the team has to make with their netminders.
