AV,
I don't know if there was an announcement but Igor played both games this weekend in the sweep of TB and it seemed unlikely that the Rangers would mule a goalie who is just returning from an injury. I am speculating Georgiev will be in goal.

That's it guys. Rangers are now in first place and tied with the Capitals with 48 points, most in the NHL. They did that by winning on a night when neither of the Rangers 2 best players played in the game.
Both McDavid AND Draisaitl were held pointless. If you were wondering how they were able to do that, it's because the Rangers have been getting game plans from a Maestro:
I always had great respect for this guy....when in Montréal i met him often at the grocery downtown....and when talking of his kids he has fire in his eyes.....yep a true leader. 
The Rangers were very lucky to get him as their coach. After he led Canada to the World Championship, which was after a tremendous run by a team that started off slow and then gelled, any team could have had him, including Montreal. When other teams passed on him and the Rangers hired him, I knew from Day 1 that he would take this Rangers team to the next level. He had coached the LV Golden Knights to the greatest expansion season in the history of professional sports and almost won the Stanley Cup in the process.
For the Rangers, it is clear that the rebuild was going well, I just did not think a rapid ascenscion would happen this quick. Gallant is the main reason why, Igor is another. There were signs that this team was a developing young team and had a chance to be great 2 yeas ago. When Shesterkin won his first 10 games as a rookie and set numerous records in the process, the team seemed ready to take a huge step. All of that came to a crashing end when Shesterkin got into a car accident in NYC after some idiot pulled a U-turn in front of the car Igor was driving, causing fractured ribs which ended his season. At the time of that injury he was on fire like he is now. But the overall team needed a leader like Gallant and now they have one. The sky is the limit for this team in the next 4-5 years.

Some teams will take the risk. Maybe even Mtl now that Bergevin is gone. He's too valuable as a player.
I agree. He is an excellent player, someone will take a flyer on him. Maybe Vancouver? He might be stoked playing in front of his hometown crowd.
