There has to be more than meets the eye — or maybe, in this case, the ear — to David Quinn’s explanation of why the Rangers went with Alex Georgiev in nets on Saturday against the Penguins instead of coming right back to Igor Shesterkin off his strong performance in Thursday’s overtime victory in Buffalo.

“Obviously the circumstances have changed here since last year without having Hank [Lundqvist] here,” the coach said. “I just thought for the short-term we’re going to go every other [game] with these guys for a while, and see how it goes regardless of how they play and give them a little clearer picture and maybe some more comfort in what the schedule is and who’s going to play.

“So, I don’t know how long we’re going to do it, but that will be the approach in the short term.”

Georgiev was not up to snuff in this one, surrendering five goals on 38 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss at the Garden in which he may not have been the prime culprit but could not do enough to win it. The Bulgarian-born netminder has recorded three straight starts with a .800, .875 and .868 save percentage, respectively.
