Escapes with shootout win Georgiev stopped 20 of 21 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Sharks.

Impact Georgiev earned his 100th career win Saturday, but it didn't look like he would for most of the game. He gave up a goal to Thomas Bordeleau in the first period, and Mackenzie Blackwood came within 1:26 of making that stand for a Sharks victory before Cale Makar tied the game. Georgiev has won both of his outings this season, allowing just three goals on 57 shots. The 27-year-old should continue to see plenty of playing time. The Avalanche wrap up their season-opening three-game road trip in Seattle on Tuesday.

With Pavel Francouz (groin) out indefinitely, Ivan Prosvetov and Justus Annunen are the backup options for the Avalanche, so it's expected Georgiev will again see significant playing time.
