Joonas Korpisalo is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, and Dylan Garand returns to the NHL roster as New York’s backup.
- New York Rangers backup goaltender Joonas Korpisalo is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, according to reports on Thursday. The team placed the 32-year-old on injured reserve.
- To fill the roster vacancy, 24-year-old Dylan Garand was recalled from the American Hockey League's Hartford Wolf Pack. Garand cleared waivers earlier in the week after being pushed down the depth chart this summer.
- 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.
- Thursday's home opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Friday's game at the Detroit Red Wings create a back-to-back schedule. Garand could be counted on to start the second game in Michigan.
- Igor Shesterkin, who started Tuesday's 3-0 loss at Boston, remains the primary option in net. The team will depend on Shesterkin during this period while adjusting to the temporary loss of their backup goaltender.
