It took the Avalanche 35 games to pull a starting goalie. What that says about Alexandar Georgiev and the state of the Avs.
Not out of situational necessity or injury precaution; it was a performance-based change. Jared Bednar pulled starter Alexandar Georgiev late in the second period Saturday after Georgiev allowed a fifth Toronto goal in an eventual 6-2 Avalanche loss.
The snag with Georgiev at this juncture is a streaky tendency. The hot streaks have outlasted and outweighed the cold ones, but a trend has developed nonetheless. In his last three games since the Avs returned from the holiday break, he’s 0-2-1 with 14 goals allowed on 83 shots. That’s an .831 save percentage.
The seven games before that: A .947 SV%, 32.9 saves per game vs. just 1.9 goals allowed on average, and a 6-1-0 record.
