Story summary

The New York Rangers added veteran goalie James Reimer to their AHL affiliate, Hartford Wolf Pack, due to injuries to their top goalies. Igor Shesterkin suffered a season-ending injury, while Joonas Korpisalo is on long-term injured reserve and was expected to miss another four weeks as of October 10. Reimer, who has played in 539 career NHL games, signed a professional tryout agreement with Hartford. The move aims to bolster the Rangers' goaltending depth amid thinning AHL options due to Callum Tung and Gabriel Carriere being the current goalies for Hartford.
