Georgiev will start on Sunday vs. Knights
Georgiev will be in goal Sunday on the road versus the Golden Knights, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports. Georgiev started Saturday, but he didn’t make it through the first period versus the Jets, allowing four goals on 15 shots. He dropped to 38-18-4 on the year, and he’s now allowed four or more goals in four of his last six outings. He’ll have another tough test Sunday against the Golden Knights, who have scored 21 goals over their last five games despite winning just twice in that span.
Theodore notches assist and two blocks
Shea Theodore notched an assist and two blocked shots in Friday’s 7-2 win over the Wild. Theodore’s offense has slowed down lately — he has just three assists over his last seven contests. The 28-year-old defenseman has also lost his top-unit power-play role to Noah Hanifin. Theodore is still a strong scoring option from the blue line with five goals, 40 points, 94 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and a plu-4 rating through 44 appearances, but it’s unreasonable to expect him to hover around a point-per-game pace down the stretch.
