In net Tuesday Georgiev will tend the home twine versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Georgiev has lost four consecutive games while surrendering at least four goals in each defeat. The 28-year-old posted a 2-4-0 record, .869 save percentage and 4.10 GAA over seven appearances in December. It won't get any easier for the Bulgarian netminder Tuesday against a Vegas team that sits fourth in the NHL with 3.54 goals per game.

Gives up four goals Tuesday Georgiev stopped 30 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Flyers.

Impact The Sharks are on an eight-game losing streak, and Georgiev has been between the pipes in four of those contests, posting a 4.36 GAA and a .872 save percentage in that stretch. His numbers have decreased considerably since being traded from the Avalanche to San Jose on Dec. 9. He posted a 3.38 GAA across 18 outings with the Avs, but that number has risen to 4.08 in five appearances with San Jose.

Tending twine Tuesday Georgiev will patrol the home crease against Philadelphia on Tuesday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Georgiev has surrendered 13 goals on 99 shots during his three-game losing skid. He has a 9-10-0 record with a 3.52 GAA and an .872 save percentage through 22 appearances between San Jose and Colorado this season. Philadelphia has registered 3.03 goals per game in 2024-25.

Falters in third period Georgiev allowed five goals on 35 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Georgiev kept the Sharks competitive through two periods, but it all fell apart in the third. Vegas scored twice while shorthanded in a span of 23 seconds to flip the script, and the Sharks couldn't recover, sending Georgiev to his third straight loss. In that span, he's given up 13 goals on 99 shots. He's now 9-10-0 with a 3.52 GAA and an .872 save percentage over 22 appearances between the Sharks and the Avalanche. Georgiev is a clear fade in any moderately tough matchup. Yaroslav Askarov will likely start Saturday's home game versus the Sharks.

Slated starter Friday Georgiev is set to start at home against Vegas on Friday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Georgiev has a 9-9-0 record, 3.44 GAA and .873 save percentage in 21 appearances between Colorado and San Jose in 2024-25. He's allowed at least three goals in each of his past three games. Vegas ranks fourth in goals per game with 3.50.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Defeated by old teammates Georgiev stopped 27 of 31 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact It looked like Georgiev might pull off a revenge win for a bit, as the Sharks led 2-1 after two periods. The Avalanche put three past him in the third, including a pair of goals from Joel Kiviranta that showed why Colorado was willing to flip him for Mackenzie Blackwood. Georgiev is now 9-9-0 through 21 appearances including 1-2-0 with 11 goals allowed on 84 shots over his first three starts as a Shark. He's added a 3.44 GAA and an .873 save percentage this season, and those marks are unlikely to improve much playing behind a young and porous defense. The Sharks have another tough matchup in Edmonton on Saturday.

Between pipes against former team Georgiev was the first goalie off Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll draw the start at home against the Avalanche.

Impact Georgiev was traded from Colorado to San Jose last week, and he's posted a 1-1-0 record, 3.52 GAA and .868 save percentage over his first two appearances with his new team. He'll draw the start for the third time in the Sharks' last four games and will face off his former organization less than two weeks after being traded. Despite his familiarity with the team, the Avalanche could present a tough test Thursday, as they rank ninth in the league with 3.24 goals per game.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Yields four goals in loss Georgiev stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

Impact The Sharks took a 3-2 lead early in the third period, but Georgiev couldn't make it last. He's now 1-1-0 with seven goals allowed on 53 shots over two starts with the Sharks since he was traded from the Avalanche. He hasn't experienced the full brunt of a defensive meltdown yet, but the results could get ugly if the team in front of him starts leaking shots at a high volume. Georgiev is now 9-8-0 with a 3.40 GAA and an .873 save percentage over 20 outings this season. He could be in line to start against his former team Thursday when the Sharks host the Avalanche -- Vitek Vanecek (head) was hurt on the bench Tuesday and may not be available for the next game.

In goal versus Winnipeg Georgiev will be in net for Tuesday's home matchup against the Jets, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Georgiev won his first start with San Jose, turning aside 17 of 20 shots in a 4-3 win over the Blues on Dec. 12. Winnipeg has scored 14 goals over its last three games, going 2-0-1 in that span. The Jets rank third overall in the NHL with 3.66 goals per game.

Wins first game with new club Georgiev stopped 17 of 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Blues.

Impact Georgiev was acquired in a trade from the Avalanche on Monday, and he registered a road win Thursday in his first appearance with San Jose. The 28-year-old has won his last two starts (one with Colorado), and he'll certainly have a chance to be the Sharks' No. 1 netminder -- Yaroslav Askarov is in the minors and Vitek Vanecek has struggled through the early portion of the 2024-25 campaign. Georgiev is up to a 9-7-0 record, .873 save percentage and 3.36 GAA through 19 total appearances.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to make team debut Thursday Georgiev will defend the road crease during Thursday's game against St. Louis, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Georgiev was traded from the Avalanche to the Sharks on Monday, and he'll make his first appearance in his new uniform on the road Thursday. Over 18 starts with Colorado to begin the year, he went 8-7-0 with a 3.38 GAA and .874 save percentage.

Impact Georgiev has posted a record of 8-7-0 with a 3.38 GAA and an .874 save percentage in 18 appearances this season. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. If Georgiev continues to struggle with the Sharks, he could get pushed for playing time by Vitek Vanecek.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing Saturday Georgiev stopped 29 of 30 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Georgiev gave up an even-strength goal to Lucas Raymond in the final minutes of the second period, but he was excellent the rest of the way and recorded a win for the first time since Nov. 27. He's won just two of his last four starts, but the fact that he's posted a save percentage of at least .900 thrice in that span suggests he's playing well despite what the record might indicate. He'll rest Sunday against the Devils in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he should return to defending the Avs crease against the Penguins on Tuesday.
