NEW YORK — One of the top preseason storylines for the 2023-24 season with the Colorado Avalanche was how coach Jared Bednar and the club would manage the workload for Alexandar Georgiev after leaning on him heavily a year ago.
It turns out Bednar and the Avs had a different plan — either by necessity or not — than everyone outside the organization expected. Less is not more for Georgiev, at least not through the first 60% of the season.
Georgiev has started 41 of the Avs’ 51 games so far, which leads the NHL.
