Georgiev stopped 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) picking up his third straight defeat in a hard-luck overtime loss to the New York Rangers in his last start.

Copley allowed six goals on 31 shorts (.806 SV%) in his worst start of the season, a loss vs. Buffalo his last time out. Despite his struggles Tuesday, Copley will take the crease for the third time in for Los Angeles games, as he has a 2-1-0 record, a .884 SV% and a 3.33 GAA. He gets arguably the toughest draw in the league in the Boston Bruins, who have won their last two games and are 2nd in the NHL in both goals per game (3.86) and shots (35.0).
