The Avalanche shared some news on Thursday: Alexandar Georgiev is back from his injury.
He had been sidelined with an upper-body issue since November 13, missing two games. T.J. Tynan is heading to AHL Colorado to make room for him on the team.
Georgiev hasn’t been having the best season so far, with a save percentage of .863, which puts him at the bottom among goalies who’ve played at least ten times. His goals saved above expected are also not great, sitting at -9.1, just slightly better than Connor Ingram’s -10.9.
Recent Performance and Team Adjustments:
Before getting hurt, Georgiev was finding his groove again. He started four straight games and managed a 3-1-0 record with a .913 save percentage , improving from his earlier struggles of .822 SV%. For now, Kevin Mandolese stays as backup insurance in case Georgiev isn’t fully ready or gets hurt again; he might stick around until their road trip ends in Tampa on Monday.
Tynan got called up before their latest game against the Flyers—a match they won 3-2—but he didn’t get any ice time during that game. This season has seen him play seven times for the Avalanche amidst injuries plaguing their forwards; he’s grabbed one assist but no goals yet in eight AHL games while averaging about 7 minutes and 47 seconds per game.
Fans might wonder if Georgiev will bounce back strong after this brief break or continue struggling like before.
As we wrap up this update: what do you think? Will Georgiev shine brighter now that he’s back?
