Loses Western Conference showdown Georgiev stopped 27 of 34 shots in Saturday's 7-0 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact The gap between the Western Conference's top-two teams coming into the game looked like an ocean Saturday, as Vegas dominated while Colorado couldn't get anything going with 41 shots. This was Georgiev's fifth straight game of giving up three or more goals, though the seven he allowed was by far the highest total he's given up all season. The 27-year-old dropped to 6-3-0 with a 2.92 GAA and a .900 save percentage through nine games. The Avalanche have been shut out in three straight road games, so it's a positive they're at home Tuesday versus a Devils team likely to be without both Jack Hughes (lower body) and Nico Hischier (upper body).

No support in Sunday's loss Georgiev stopped 25 of 28 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Buffalo's final goal was scored into an empty net. The high-flying Avs have somehow been shut out in two straight games after averaging 4.67 goals over their season-opening six-game win streak, and under normal circumstances, Georgiev's efforts Sunday would have been enough to keep the team in the game. The 27-year-old has a 2.40 GAA and .915 save percentage while starting every one of Colorado's games so far.

Gets hook in Thursday's loss Georgiev turned aside 20 of 24 shots before being replaced by Ivan Prosvetov midway through the third period of Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Sidney Crosby beat Georgiev through a screen to chase him from the game after another bad giveaway by a Colorado skater, and getting lifted was more an act of mercy by coach Jared Bednar than a reflection on the netminder's play. The loss ended the Avalanche's NHL-record 15-game winning streak on the road dating back to last season and left Georgiev tied for the longest road winning streak by a goalie in NHL history at 12, a mark originally set by the Bruins' Eddie Johnston in 1971. Georgiev still has a 2.31 GAA and a .918 save percentage through seven starts to begin the season, but he might get a breather when Colorado next takes the ice Sunday in Buffalo.

Yields four goals in win Georgiev stopped 23 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Carolina's offense is arguably the best the Avalanche have seen in this young season, so it's not a total surprise Georgiev was tested. Colorado fell behind 3-2 midway through the second period, then rallied for four goals in a span of 7:14 to take a commanding lead into the intermission. Georgiev handled things the rest of the way, earning his fifth straight win to open the season. He's allowed just eight goals on 140 shots, good for a .943 save percentage. The Avalanche begin a three-game road trip Tuesday versus the low-scoring Islanders, making Georgiev a strong fantasy play if he starts that contest.
