It wasn’t too long ago that former New York Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev was an NHL All-Star. Now it’s quite possible the 29-year-old played his final game in the NHL.
The Buffalo Sabres placed Georgiev on unconditional waivers Sunday in order to terminate his contract. Hockey News Hub reported that Georgiev plans to sign with Spartak in the KHL.
Georgiev signed a one-year contract with the Sabres on Sept. 11, after goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen sustained a lower-body injury. However, Georgiev never played a regular-season game with the Sabres, and landed in the American Hockey League, where he started two games for Rochester.
