SAN JOSE — Goalie Alexandar Georgiev’s time with the San Jose Sharks is ending.

Georgiev said minutes after the Sharks’ season-ending 3-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday that general manager Mike Grier informed him that he will not be back with the team next season.

Georgiev is in the final year of a three-year, $10.2 million contract he signed with the Colorado Avalanche in July 2022 and is set to become an unrestricted free agent. The Sharks acquired Georgiev, winger Nikolai Kovalenko, and two draft picks in December as part of the trade that sent goalie Mackenzie Blackwood to Colorado.

Georgiev, 29, went 7-19-4 with an .875 save percentage in 31 games with the Sharks.

“I already had a conversation with the GM, and he said they’re going with a different group for next year,” Georgiev said Wednesday night at SAP Center. “So I know that I’ll be a part of a different team, and at least that’s good to know, and know that I have a new challenge and new team to play for. It will be very exciting for me.

“I hope the group here is good. They deserve to win and deserve good goalies. So that’s up to the management now.”
