Ondrej Pavelec News

Pavelec has been sidelined since February 9th but will backup Alexandar Georgiev in Philadelphia tomorrow. Pavelec posted a 3.01 GAA and .910 SV% in 16 appearances before getting hurt.

Pavelec stopped seven of eight shots in the first period but did not come back out for the second period in last night’s win over the Flames. This morning the Rangers called up Alexandar Georgiev from Hartford (AHL), so it looks like Pavelec is going to miss some time.

Pavelec allowed two goals on 18 shots after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers loss to the Bruins on Wednesday. The Rangers are in free-fall mode right now and are dealing with a couple of key injuries, so Pavelec shouldn’t be considered a safe option even with the Flames coming in on a back-to-back.

Pavelec stopped 21 of 23 shots after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers loss in Anaheim on Tuesday. Pavelec has gone 1-4-0 with a 3.54 GAA and .909 SV% on the road this season and will be in tough against the Sharks tonight. They will be without Joe Thornton (knee) but with a lot of other teams in action, there are better options.

Pavelec allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Rangers loss in Vegas last Sunday. The Rangers return to ice after their bye week with a back-to-back so Pavelec will start this afternoon vs. the Islanders. Pavelec has gone 2-2-1 with a 1.66 GAA and .944 SV% at Madison Square Garden this season.

Pavelec allowed one goal on 45 shots in the Rangers loss to Dallas on December 11th. Henrik Lundqvist started the last six games but Pavelec will start the first game after the Christmas break. Pavelec has gone 2-4-1 with a 3.04 GAA and .914 SV% in five starts and three relief appearances this season.

Pavelec stopped 41 of 44 shots in the Rangers 4-3 win over the Penguins last Tuesday. Pavelec has been pretty steady in his last three appearances, stopping 67 of the last 73 shots (.918 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he will take on a Dallas team that has lost three straight entering play.

Pavelec allowed three goals on 19 shots in the Rangers loss to New Jersey in his first start as a Ranger. He has also made one relief appearance this season, allowing a combined six goals on 43 shots (.860 SV%) in his two appearances. Tonight he is worth considering as a spot-start as he faces a Coyotes team that has not recorded a win yet this season.

Pavelec allowed three goals on 24 shots after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers’ loss in Toronto last Saturday. Tonight he will make his first start as a Ranger and it will come against a Devils team who are coming off of their first loss last night. Pavelec will be a risky fantasy option whenever he’s between the pipes.

Pavelec has been with the Jets’ organization since he was drafted No.41 overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2005. His game started to slip the last few years, leading to him starting the 2016-17 season in the AHL. He ended up making it to Winnipeg and appeared in eight games, going 4-4-0 with a 3.55 GAA and .888 SV%. Despite a few rough seasons in a row, the Rangers have had a lot of success with backups over the years, making it possible the Pavelec could be a serviceable handcuff to Henrik Lundqvist in 2017-18.
