Buffalo Sabres News

Schenn will make his Canucks debut after they tried Erik Gudbranson to the Penguins. Schenn has put up solid numbers in the AHL (1G / 4A in seven games) but has just 15 points (2G / 13A) in his last 150 NHL games.

Pearson got off to a nice start in Pittsburgh but dropped down the depth chart after they added Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann. Overall, Pearson has nine goals and six assists (15 points) in 61 games between the Kings and Penguins. He has a much better chance to play in the Canucks top-6 and could slot onto the top line with Bo Horvat right away.

Schenn played in eight games with the Ducks earlier this season but has been in the AHL since being traded to the Canucks. Since the trade, Schenn, who is not known for his offence, has five points (1G / 4A) in seven games. He should make his Canucks debut on the weekend with both Chris Tanev and Alexander Edler out.

Georgiev stopped a ridiculous 55 of 56 shots in the Rangers win over the Maple Leafs on Sunday. Georgiev has been outstanding in his last three outings, going 2-1-0 while stopping 100 of the last 105 shots (.952 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he makes for a solid option vs. a Sabres team that has lost eight of their last 13 (5-7-1).

Thompson came to the Sabres with so much upside and a lethal shot but has registered just seven goals on 81 shots (8.6 SH%) and four assists (11 points) in 45 games this season. Thompson will be replaced by Johan Larsson tonight.

Georgiev allowed one goal on 19 shots in the Rangers 1-0 loss to the Flyers on January 29th. Georgiev is 1-5-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .891 SV% in his last eight appearances. He draws a tough matchup with the Bruins in town, but they did play last night. Georgiev has gone 3-2-0 with a 1.73 GAA, .933 SV% and one shutout at Madison Square Garden this season.

Georgiev allowed seven goals on 40 shots in the Rangers loss in Columbus back on January 13th. The 22-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 1.89 GAA, .931 SV% and one shutout on home-ice this season and will get the start tonight to give All-Star Henrik Lundqvist a breather. Georgiev is 2-9-0 with a 3.66 GAA and .883 SV% during his 11 games with Hartford (AHL) this year.

Carrick is a former fifth-round pick two has just one goal and one assist in 22 career NHL games. Carrick will likely serve as the Ducks extra forward with Ondrej Kase going on IR.

The Rangers have one more game (Saturday) before their bye week meets the All-Star break, so Georgiev will go to the AHL to get some work in. Georgiev has gone 2-6-0 with a 3.30 GAA and .890 SV% in his previous eight games with Hartford while doing this dance.

Schenn has appeared in just eight games with the Ducks this season and heads to Vancouver where he will likely serve as an extra defenseman.

Georgiev stopped 24 of 25 shots in the Rangers win over the Islanders on Saturday afternoon. Georgiev will start for the second straight day as Henrik Lundqvist gets a “mental break.” Despite stout outing yesterday, Georgiev has gone 3-6-0 with a 3.76 GAA and .890 SV% on the road this season.

Georgiev stopped all eight shots that he faced after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers loss in Arizona on Sunday. Georgiev has not registered a win since December 18th, allowing a combined 11 goals on 97 shots (.887 SV%) in four appearances. He comes into Tuesday’s game at 2-5-0 with a 4.27 GAA and .881 SV% on the road.
