Rangers goalie Joonas Korpisalo is week to week with a lower-body injury, AP source says
Joonas Korpisalo is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, and Dylan Garand returns to the NHL roster as New York’s backup.
- On Thursday, New York Rangers backup goaltender Joonas Korpisalo was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old is considered week-to-week.
- Recalled from the American Hockey League's Hartford Wolf Pack, 24-year-old Dylan Garand fills the roster vacancy. Garand cleared waivers earlier in the week before rejoining the organization.
- Korpisalo was acquired from the Boston Bruins this offseason for a $3 million annual salary. It remains unclear exactly when the injury occurred, as he has not played a game this season.
- A back-to-back schedule begins with Thursday's home opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Friday's game at the Detroit Red Wings. Garand could start the second game in Michigan.
- Starting in Tuesday's 3-0 loss at Boston, Igor Shesterkin remains the primary option in net. The team will depend on Shesterkin during this period while adjusting to Korpisalo's temporary absence.
