Alexandar Georgiev

New York Rangers General Manager Jeff Gorton announced today that the team has recalled goaltender Alexandar Georgiev from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Georgiev, who turns 22 years old today, has appeared in 31 AHL games with the Wolf Pack this season posting a 12-11-6 record, along with a 2.97 GAA, a .908 SV%, and 2 SO. In his last nine AHL appearances (since Jan. 19), he has posted an 8-0-1 record, along with a 1.76 GAA, a .948 SV%, and 2 SO, and he has made at least 40 saves in three of the nine appearances. He made a single-game season-high 48 saves on Feb. 2 at Providence, and he stopped all 43 shots he faced to earn his first career AHL shutout on Jan. 21 vs. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. In addition, Georgiev ranks fifth among qualified AHL rookie goaltenders in SV% this season.
The Moscow, Russia, native was signed by the Rangers as an undrafted free agent on July 19, 2017.
