Georgiev stopped 41 of 44 shots in the Rangers win over the Hurricanes on Monday. He has basically forced the Rangers to consider starting him as he continues to stand tall despite facing a barrage of shots. In his first four NHL starts, Georgiev has faced an average of 39.5 shots per game and has turned aside 93 percent of them. Tonight may be the stiffest test of his young career with the two-time Stanley Cup Champs coming to MSG.
Georgiev allowed one goal on 14 shots after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers loss in Tampa Bay last Thursday. Georgiev has posted a 2.65 GAA and .930 SV% in four games since being recalled from Hartford (AHL) and tonight he will make his fourth start of the year. Tonight he faces a Hurricanes team that has lost eight of their last 11 (3-6-2).

Lyon’s last start came on February 20th, where he stopped 25 of 27 shots en route to a 3-2 victory over the Canadiens. He has a 2.88 GAA and a .903 SV% in five appearances for the Flyers this season. He draws a tough matchup tonight against the Bruins.
Georgiev allowed four goals on 37 shots in the Rangers loss to the Wild on February. Georgiev has been extremely busy in his first two NHL games, stopping 71 of the 77 shots (.922 SV%) that he has faced. He makes for a decent spot-start option against an Oilers team that has lost nine of their last 12 games coming into Saturday.
Thompson has split his time between the AHL and NHL this season, picking up three goals and three assists (six points) in 24 games with the Blues. During his time with the Rampage, the 20-year-old has 18 points (8G / 10A) in 30 contests. He is expected to play on Sunday afternoon, but there’s no word on who he will replace.
Georgiev was stellar in his NHL debut last night, allowing just two goals on 40 shots in a losing effort against the Canadiens. Coach Alain Vigneault said Rangers goalie coach Benoit Allaire wanted some more time with Henrik Lundqvist to work on his game, so Georgiev will get the call for the second straight night. He has a 12-11-2 record and a .908 SV% in 31 games for Hartford (AHL) this season. He draws a difficult matchup tonight against the Wild.
Georgiev was slated to debut last Saturday in Ottawa but was a late scratch due to an illness. He has a 12-11-2 record and a .908 SV% in 31 games for Hartford (AHL) this season. He draws a good matchup tonight against the Canadiens.
Lyon entered Sunday’s game against the Rangers after Michal Neuvirth went down with a lower-body injury, making 25 saves on 26 shots en route to picking up the win for the Flyers. Despite his strong play on Sunday, the Flyers still felt it necessary to acquire Petr Mrazek from the Red Wings, though Lyon is still expected to see some starts so long as Neuvirth and Brian Elliot are both sidelined. He draws a strong matchup tonight at home against the Canadiens.
Georgiev was expected to make his NHL debut Saturday. Henrik Lundqvist will now likely get the start, with the Rangers expected to recall a back-up later today.
Georgiev, 22, has gone 12-11-2 with a 2.97 GAA and .908 SV% in 31 games with the Wolf Pack this season. With Ondrej Pavelec getting hurt last night, Georgiev comes up to serve as Henrik Lundqvist’s backup.
Thompson played just 7:54 TOI in Buffalo on Saturday and will sit tonight with the Blues dressing seven defensemen and just 11 forwards. Thompson has recorded just six points (3G / 3A) in 23 games since being called up.
Lyon went 0-1-0 with a 3.93 GAA and .860 SV% in three games with the Flyers while Brian Elliott was out. He returns to Lehigh Valley where he has gone 13-8-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 SV% this season.
Lyon turned aside all five shots that he faced in relief of Michal Neuvirth in his NHL debut last night. Neuvirth reportedly did not feel well during the game, so look for Lyon to get his first career start tonight in New Jersey. The 25-year-old is a bit of an unknown and is the fourth goalie on the Flyers depth chart but with injuries he’ll get his shot—he was 13-8-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .910 SV% in Lehigh Valley (AHL).
