The Colorado Avalanche acquired goalie Alexandar Georgiev from the New York Rangers for three NHL draft picks, as the Stanley Cup champions reshuffle their goaltending for next season.
The Rangers added the Avalanche's 2022 third-round (97th overall) and fifth-round (161st) picks, as well as a third-round pick in the 2023 NHL draft.
Georgiev, 26, had a save percentage of .898 and a 2.92 goals-against average in 33 games last season for the Rangers. He has played five years in the NHL, all with New York, and has a career .908 save percentage and 2.94 GAA.
Georgiev had been dangled as available in previous seasons as Igor Shesterkin has emerged as the Rangers' franchise goalie. He is a restricted free agent with arbitration rights.
