Goaltender Alexandar Georgiev has been one of Colorado’s best players through eight games, but coach Jared Bednar decided it was time to give him a break Wednesday.
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Alexandar Georgiev makes a stop against the Seattle Kraken during the first period of an NHL hockey game Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, in Seattle. The Colorado Avalanche began this season with a desire to play Alexandar Georgiev a little less after he carried so much of the workload near the end of last season, but the early-season schedule has allowed him to play every game so far.
“We’ve discussed it over the last few starts, especially,” Bednar said after practice Tuesday. “At 6-0, you’re kinda like, ‘Well, this isn’t that taxing of a schedule.’ Then you get the extra day in Buffalo. But now I think his last two games probably weren’t as sharp as the first two, three or four. That’s usually an indication that a little mental break now for him could be good.”
Even after the two losses, Georgiev’s .915 save percentage is 15th in the league among goalies with four-plus starts. He’s played the second-most minutes at the position, behind only ex-Avs netminder Jonas Johansson, who is filling in for Andrei Vasilevskiy as the starter for Tampa Bay. Enter Prosvetov, whose numbers at this level, like Annunen, are so-so, but both Bednar and general manager Chris MacFarland said the club’s scouting staff liked the big Russian goalie. Prosvetov did get a little bit of time in the Pittsburgh game — he played the final 8:05 and stopped all five shots he faced.
