Alexandar Georgiev is the seventh Rangers goaltender who has made at least 50 saves in a game since the NHL began tracking the statistic in 1955-56 (along with Gump Worsley, Jacques Plante, Gilles Villemure, Glen Hanlon, Mike Richter, and Henrik Lundqvist). #NYR

Georgiev's 55 saves are the most by a Rangers goalie in a game that ended in regulation since the NHL started tracking saves in 1955-56. It's also the most saves made by a Rangers goalie at the Garden in their history. He fell four saves shy of matching Mike Richter's team record for most saves in a game; Richter made 59 saves in a 3-3 tie against the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 31, 1991
Including tonight, Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad, and Mats Zuccarello have recorded 44 points (20 G, 24 A) in the last 11 games which all three players were in the lineup, including 38 points (16 G, 22 A) in the last nine games which all three players were in the lineup. #NYR
