Avalanche Must Weigh Goalie Switch Before Game 4
With the series tied and the starter’s save percentage slipping, Colorado faces a tough call: stick with the veteran or give the backup a chance before Game 4.
With the first-round series knotted at 1-1, the Colorado Avalanche face a pivotal goaltending decision before Game 4. 880 save percentage through two games, letting in soft goals at critical moments. 920 save percentage in limited regular-season action, waits in the wings.
Head coach Jared Bednar has historically leaned on his veteran, but the team’s defensive structure has broken down in front of Georgiev. The choice could define Colorado’s postseason: trust the track record or inject a spark before the series shifts back to Denver.
