Training Camp: The Battle to be Backup

The 2018 preseason is already underway and thus far the New York Rangers’ goaltending has been underwhelming. But, there’s really no cause for concern yet. After all, we’ve only seen a few preseason games and we all know who the starting goaltender is going to be.

But, for the first time in a long time, there’s a true battle in training camp to determine who will be Henrik Lundqvist’s backup. Today we’re going to look at the three netminders who hope to be the King’s understudy in 2018-19.

Georgiev’s youth, potential, and his impressive play after being a late call-up last season all make him the early favorite to be Lundqvist’s understudy this year.
