Goalie Change For The New York Rangers?

11/16/2019 at 9:43pm EST

from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

It is time for the Blueshirts to summon Shesterkin to Broadway in an exchange for Alex Georgiev, because three-into-two creates fractions in nets, and because Georgiev’s waivers-exempt status will expire after he plays eight more games in the NHL.

The Rangers only play one game over the next five days, Wednesday at home against the Capitals. But beginning Nov. 22, there will be six games in nine days. That represents the perfect time for Shesterkin to get into the NHL mix and work on a daily basis with goaltending coach Benny Allaire....

Davidson has known since the moment he took the job that the team ultimately would have to choose between Shesterkin and Georgiev, and on probably more of an accelerated basis than optimal. But unless the decision-makers are surprised by how well Shesterkin has played in the AHL (and that’s not likely), this was always going to be a matter of time.

And the time is just about now.
