Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Gives up three goals in loss Monday
Alexandar Georgiev stopped 21 of 24 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks. The Colorado Avalanche also gave up two empty-netters in the final minute of the third period.Georgiev returned to the Avalanche's crease after a four-game absence Monday, but his struggles continued and earned his fourth defeat across six appearances. The 28-year-old netminder has yet to post a save percentage above .880 in any of his outings this season, translating to a 4.62 GAA and an .822 save percentage overall. Given his subpar results this season, Georgiev should continue in a backup role for Colorado for the foreseeable future.

Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Earns overtime win
Alexandar Georgiev stopped 17 of 20 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.The Colorado Avalanche trailed for a long portion of the game despite controlling the pace of play. Georgiev also allowed the game-tying goal with 13 seconds left in regulation, but Nathan MacKinnon tallied in overtime to secure the team's first win of the campaign. This outing won't change the narrative around Georgiev, but a win is a win. He's allowed a total of 20 goals across five outings while posting a 1-3-0 record. The Avalanche begin a three-game road trip Sunday in San Jose. For now, Georgiev remains the No. 1 goalie, but he could be pressured by Justus Annunen or Kaapo Kahkonen if he doesn't get in a groove soon.

Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Skid continues Wednesday
Alexandar Georgiev allowed four goals on 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Bruins. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.All four goals Georgiev gave up were in the first half of the game. That gave the Colorado Avalanche a chance at a late comeback, but they came up just short. The 28-year-old has lost three of his four starts while giving up 17 goals on 86 shots. Georgiev has at least stayed between the pipes for the full games in his last two starts, but fantasy managers hoping he'd bounce back after a poor 2023-24 may want to consider other options at this point. The Avalanche's next game is Friday at home versus the Ducks.

Avalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Yanked again Saturday
Alexandar Georgiev stopped six of nine shots before being replaced by Justus Annunen in the second period of Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.Georgiev has been pulled in his first two games of the season, giving up eight goals on 25 shots. He was spared the loss this time, as the Colorado Avalanche rallied to cover his damage right after he exited the game. After the contest, head coach Jared Bednar gave Georgiev a vote of confidence by telling reporters, "he's our guy," per Ryan Boulding of NHL.com. Still, fantasy managers are likely already thin on patience with the 28-year-old netminder. Colorado's next game is at home versus the Islanders, and while Georgiev still has a grip on the starting job, it's loosening by the game, though Annunen has also struggled in his two relief outings.
