Who’s really Lundqvist’s heir? Georgiev is making it interesting

PHILADELPHIA — Who knows what the management folks running the Russian entry for the upcoming World Championships are thinking, but it would be inexplicable if an invitation to Alexander Georgiev is not forthcoming.

“I have not heard anything,” Georgiev told The Post following his 3-0 shutout of the Flyers on Sunday afternoon. “I would love to play, of course, but with only six days left [in the season], maybe they already decided [not to ask me].”

Georgiev, 7-4-3/.926/2.60 in 14 starts since Feb. 6, was born in Bulgaria before moving with his family to Russia shortly after he was born.
