Former New York Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev has a new home after the unrestricted free agent goaltender signed with the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday. The one-year contract is worth $825,000.
The 29-year-old signed with the Rangers as an undrafted free agent on July 17, 2017, and spent five seasons on Broadway before being traded to the Colorado Avalanche on July 7, 2022. He was 58-48-11 in 129 games (117 starts) during his time with the Rangers, with a 2.94 goals-against average, .908 save percentage and eight shutouts.
Georgiev broke into the NHL as Henrik Lundqvist’s understudy in 2017-18, and while in his mind he may have been preparing himself to eventually take over as the No.
