Alexandar Georgiev is close to returning to the Colorado Avalanche lineup and could potentially start in the upcoming game after missing two games due to an upper-body injury.

Alexandar Georgiev is currently under scrutiny as the Avalanche look to upgrade their goaltending. Despite showing signs of improvement, his performance has not met the team's expectations, leading to speculation about potential replacements. Colorado has been in pursuit of a better goaltender since Pavel Francouz's injury and is considering options, including other unrestricted free agents. Georgiev's status as a UFA adds to the urgency for the Avalanche to find a solution in net.

Alexandar Georgiev's tenure as the Avalanche's No. 1 goalie has been inconsistent, but he has shown the ability to bounce back from tough outings. After a challenging start to the season, he was replaced by Justus Annunen in a recent game against the Capitals. Georgiev skated with the team after the Flyers game, indicating he may be recovering from injury. His performance will be crucial as the Avalanche look to stabilize their goaltending situation while the rest of the roster gets healthy.

Alexandar Georgiev has been placed on injured reserve retroactive to November 13th. He is eligible to return after tonight's game and is traveling with the team.

Alexandar Georgiev is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and did not participate in the morning skate ahead of the game against the Capitals. His performance had improved recently, with a 3-1 record and a .913 save percentage in his last four games after a rough start to the season. Overall, he has a 4-5 record and an .863 save percentage in 10 starts this season. Justus Annunen will take over as the starting goalie in Georgiev's absence.
