Status report
Georgiev will make his second start of the season after Shesterkin started the past four games, Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. ... Pinto will be out at least a week after the forward was hit awkwardly into the boards during a 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, Senators coach D.J. Smith said. … Murray will make his second straight start after allowing two goals on 24 shots against the Sharks.
