Story summary

Dylan Garand, a 24-year-old goaltender, was unexpectedly called up by the New York Rangers after being waived by the Vancouver Canucks in less than two weeks. This sudden change came due to injuries to veteran goalies Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo, leaving Garand as the starting goalie against the Canucks on Sunday, his fifth NHL start ever. The Rangers view this move as a necessity given their current roster situation, with no clear alternative available until Korpisalo returns from injured reserve. Despite the challenge, Garand expressed readiness and excitement to contribute to team success in New York.
