The Rangers played Igor Shesterkin on injured reserve on Saturday, meaning the star goalie will miss at least three games with a right leg injury.
So Alexandar Georgiev, who finished a shutout victory on Friday, was thrown right back in the fire against the Blackhawks on Saturday night.
Georgiev was up to the task, making 25 saves as the Rangers won, 3-2, at the Garden for their sixth win in a row and 10th of 11.
Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome each had a goal and two assists. Adam Fox scored the go-ahead goal in the second period as the Rangers won their eighth home game in a row.
