Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev stands out despite loss to Blue Jackets

NEW YORK _ That goaltender Alexandar Georgiev has played so well down the stretch this season has not come as a surprise to Rangers coach David Quinn.

"No. I thought, in development camp (last June), I could see why we felt about him the way we did as an organization," Quinn said Friday before Georgiev started against the Columbus Blue Jackets in the Rangers' final home game of the season. "You could see it right from the get-go. He passes the eye test. And then when you get to know him more, you're even more optimistic about what his future holds."

Georgiev was great again Friday, making 38 saves in regulation and overtime as the Rangers lost to the Blue Jackets, 3-2, in a shootout. The Blue Jackets clinched a playoff spot with the victory.
