NEW YORK — Alexandar Georgiev got back in the goal for the first time since Jan. 30 and the end result was the same as his last game — an overtime loss to a team wearing black and gold.
The score was 3-2, this time, and the opponent was the East-leading Boston Bruins, who got the game-winner on a breakaway goal by Brad Marchand at 36 seconds of the five-minute, 3-on-3 extra period. Georgiev was celebrating his 25th birthday.
The game got to overtime because Kevin Rooney scored a controversial goal to tie it, 2-2, after Anders Bjork took advantage of a mixup on the Rangers defense to walk in from the low slot and give the Bruins a 2-1 lead at 9:00 of the third period. Rooney got the goal back at 11:22.
