Impact After a scoreless first period, Colorado handed Georgiev a 2-0 lead in the second and a 3-2 lead in the third, but he let Arizona creep back into the game each time. The 27-year-old was unbeatable in the shootout though, giving him his seventh win in his last eight starts.

He's at 32-15-5 with a 2.56 GAA and a .919 save percentage in his first year as a primary starter. The Avalanche's next two games are a home-and-home set Friday and Sunday versus the Coyotes.

Earns fifth shutout of season Georgiev posted a 28-save shutout in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Georgiev emphatically stretched his winning streak to five games, matching his longest of the season. He gave the inexperienced Blackhawks little to work with in this game, and he's now allowed just two goals over his last three contests. For the season, the 27-year-old has five shutouts, a 32-14-5 record, a 2.53 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 51 contests. Georgiev should be back between the pipes for Wednesday's home game versus the struggling Penguins.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Monday Georgiev will be stationed between the pipes at home against Chicago on Monday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Georgiev has allowed just eight total goals during his current four-game winning streak. He's improved to 31-14-5 with a 2.58 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 50 contests. The 27-year-old allowed two goals on 17 shots in a win against Chicago on Oct. 12.

Facing Red Wings Georgiev will defend the road crease in Detroit on Saturday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Georgiev finally got the night off Thursday after he started seven straight games. He returns to play the Red Wings, who are 22nd in NHL scoring, averaging 2.96 goals per game. Georgiev is 30-14-5 with a 2.61 GAA and .916 save percentage this season, all career highs.

MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in Saturday's win Georgiev stopped 33 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact A Pius Suter tally in the first period marred what was otherwise an outstanding performance by Georgiev. The 27-year-old has proven himself to be a bona fide No. 1 goaltender this season with the Avs, racking up a career-high 31 wins with a 2.56 GAA and .918 save percentage over 50 appearances.

MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Light workload in shootout win Georgiev made 17 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Georgiev allowed a Morgan Rielly goal just 3:41 into the game, but Colorado's defense stifled Toronto's attack the rest of the way. To Georgiev's credit, he maintained his concentration and kept all three Maple Leafs from scoring in the shootout to secure the win. He's faced 20 or fewer shots in three consecutive starts, and while Georgiev has won all three, he had allowed six goals over the previous two outings.

Leaves ice first Monday Georgiev was the first goalie to exit the ice ahead of Monday's road matchup with Montreal, Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey reports, indicating he'll guard the creas...

Impact Georgiev will make his sixth consecutive appearance in the crease, having posted a 2-2-1 record and 3.08 GAA in his last five outings. The Bulgarian netminder has been taking on a heavy workload for the Avs and likely will continue to do so moving forward. As such, Georgiev figures to be a top-end fantasy target the rest of the way.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wins despite allowing four goals Georgiev stopped 15 of 19 shots in an 8-4 win over Montreal on Monday.

Impact Georgiev certainly didn't have an ideal game, but he got more than enough offensive support to record the win. He has a 29-14-5 record, 2.63 GAA and .917 save percentage in 48 contests in 2022-23. Georgiev has won three of his last four starts, but he's also allowed 10 goals on 82 shots in that span.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Beats another team low in standings Georgiev made 18 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Coyotes on Saturday.

Impact He gave up two in the first period, but settle in after that. Denis Malgin drove the net from down low and finished with a far-side backhander early in the frame. And Clayton Keller went five-hole after catching a pass all alone in the right circle late in the period. Georgiev is 2-2-1 with 14 goals allowed in his last five starts. However, the two wins came against the Coyotes and Sharks (two goals against), with losses to the stronger Stars, Kings and Kraken (12 goals against). Georgiev needs to tighten his game over the next weeks and show he can beat strong teams to be ready for the postseason.
