The Buffalo Sabres signed free agent goaltender Alexandar Georgiev to a one-year contract worth $825,000 on Thursday.
Georgiev, 29, joins a Buffalo team that also has veterans Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon and youngster Devon Levi vying for playing time in the pipes.
Georgiev began last season with the Colorado Avalanche, but after some struggles he was traded to the San Jose Sharks. In 49 games (47 starts) between the teams, he went 15-26-4 with a 3.71 goals-against average and an .875 save percentage, the worst marks of his career.
Across 303 career games (288 starts) for the New York Rangers (2017-22), Avalanche (2022-24) and Sharks, the Bulgarian is 151-108-26 with a 2.99 GAA and a .903 save percentage.
