Georgiev surrenders four goals in loss
Alexander Georgiev gave up four goals on 33 shots in Monday’s 5-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4. The fifth marker was an empty-netter. Georgiev kept the Avalanche in the game for longer than they should have been, as the Stars put him under siege in the first period but came away with just one goal. They added two more in the second, and the Avalanche’s offense once again failed to give Georgiev much to work with. He’s allowed 13 goals over four contests in the second round, going 1-3 with an .879 save percentage. Head coach Jared Bednar is likely to ride with Georgiev, who will be tasked with keeping the Avalanche’s season going in elimination games, starting with Wednesday’s Game 5.
Hintz still being evaluated
Roope Hintz (upper body) is still being evaluated ahead of Wednesday’s Game 5 matchup against Colorado, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Hintz didn’t return to Monday’s 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4 after blocking a shot late in the first period. He has generated two goals, four assists, 13 shots on net and 15 hits in 11 outings this postseason. If Hintz isn’t available to play in Game 5, Radek Faksa or Ty Dellandrea could suit up in Wednesday’s contest versus Colorado.
