Story summary

The New York Rangers placed backup goalie Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury, making him unavailable for at least seven days starting from October 5th. Korpisalo participated in a brief practice but missed an optional skate ahead of the team's home opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Rangers recalled Dylan Garand from their AHL affiliate in Hartford, despite Garand previously losing out to Igor Shesterkin for the backup position during training camp. This move highlights the risk the Rangers took by initially placing Garand on waivers before he was assigned back to Hartford. Korpisalo's injury poses an early challenge to the team’s goaltending depth, with his earliest return date being October 9th against the Washington Capitals.

Backup goalie Joonas Korpisalo is being placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, according to The Post’s Mollie Walker. uncertain

Korpisalo → place → Walker

Korpisalo, who participated in a brief practice Wednesday but didn’t in a lightly attended optional skate Thursday morning, is week-to-week, and the Blueshirts recalled Dylan Garand — who lost the competition to serve as the No. 2 goalie behind Igor Shesterkin in training camp — from AHL Hartford ahead of their home opener against the Lightning on Thursday. asserted

who → participate → Thursday

It’s unclear when Korpisalo’s injury occurred, but the IR designation means that he’ll need to miss at least seven days — which would make him eligible to return for the Rangers’ Oct. 9 game against the Capitals. uncertain

Korpisalo played in their third preseason game against the Devils, making 20 saves in regulation and then another three in the shootout win. asserted

But now, Garand could go from not making the Rangers’ roster out of training camp to potentially starting in their third game of the season — with Shesterkin starting the home opener and the Blueshirts concluding a back-to-back in Detroit on Friday. uncertain

Blueshirts → go → Friday
