Martin was sent down to AHL Hartford on Sunday.
With the Rangers signing James Reimer to a one-year deal Sunday, Martin was the presumed odd-man out in the goalie room. He logged just one relief appearance prior to being sent down, where he surrendered three goals on 18 shots on net. If Reimer or Dylan Garand were to go down with an injury prior to the return of Joonas Korpisalo (lower body), Martin would be the expected replacement at the NHL level.
