Rangers' Dylan Garand: Strong effort in OT loss Saturday
Garand stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 1-0 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
Garand delivered an impressive performance despite receiving no offensive support and finished with a .966 save percentage. The 24-year-old netminder kept Columbus scoreless through regulation before surrendering the overtime winner to Kent Johnson. Garand seems to have taken over as the Rangers' No. 1 goaltender following Igor Shesterkin's season-ending lower-body injury. In his last five appearances, Garand has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.28 GAA and a .911 save percentage -- and those numbers are inflated by an Oct. 15 outing against the Devils in which he allowed four goals on 13 shots.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Between pipes Saturday
Garand will defend the road net against Columbus on Saturday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Garand struggled in Thursday's 7-1 loss to New Jersey, allowing four goals on 13 shots before getting the hook. However, he has a 3-2-0 record this season and has stopped 86 of 94 shots. Columbus (2-3-0) is tied for 17th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this campaign.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Wheels come off early in second frame
Garand allowed four goals on 13 shots Thursday before being pulled in the second period of a 7-1 loss to the Devils.
The wheels came off for Garand early in the middle frame. The Devils scored just 18 seconds in, and then they scored twice in 31 seconds starting at the 4:08 mark. The Rangers had zero response to the Devils until nearly the mid-point of the third. Garand is just 24 years old and has seven career NHL starts. His AHL numbers have been average at best, and this season was supposed to be a slow NHL baptism so the Rangers could see if he could become a solid NHL backup. Now Garand is drinking -- no drowning -- from the proverbial firehose behind a team with a suspect team defense. This is a tough situation. He's a match-ups guy, at best.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Tending twine against New Jersey
Garand will start Thursday's road game against New Jersey, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Garand has picked up wins in each of his last two starts, posting a 1.50 GAA and .936 save percentage during that time. He'll be rewarded with a third consecutive start Thursday and should continue to see plenty of time in the crease since Igor Shesterkin (knee) is out for the season, while Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) is slated to miss approximately four more weeks.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: So good fans chanted his name
Garand made 25 saves in a 4-1 victory over the Lightning on Tuesday.
Garand's performance is the best-case scenario for the Rangers, who lost Igor Shesterkin for the season because of a lower-body injury. The home crowd was chanting his first name by the end of the game. Garand has started two straight games and won both. Overall he's 3-1-0 with just four goals allowed in four starts. His 1.15 GAA and .951 will revert to the mean over time, but right now he's an outstanding story and a solid fantasy addition.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Gets starting nod at home
Garand will be between the home pipes for Tuesday's tilt versus Tampa Bay, per Jim Cerny of NHL.com.
Garand has looked solid to start the season, posting a 2-1-0 record, 1.20 GAA and one shutout. With Igor Shesterkin (knee) out for the season and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) still a month from returning, the Rangers will have to turn the crease over to Garand for the time being. If he continues to perform well, Garand could secure his spot as the No. 1 option the rest of the way.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Secures win over Canucks
Garand stopped 19 of 21 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
Garand did well in his first start since Igor Shesterkin (knee) was lost for the year. The quality of the opponent is certainly a factor -- this loss dropped the Canucks to 2-5-0 on the year. Garand will get at least a short-term chance to claim the No. 1 job for the Rangers, though his performance over the next month will go a long way in determining the pecking order in goal when Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) can play. Expect Garand between the pipes again for a much tougher test versus the Lightning on Tuesday.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: In net Sunday
Garand will patrol the home crease against Vancouver on Sunday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
In two appearances this season, Garand has posted a 1-1-0 record while allowing only one goal on 34 shots. With Igor Shesterkin (lower body) and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) unavailable, the 24-year-old Garand is poised to get a significant workload boost. Despite a 2-4-0 start to the 2026-27 campaign, Vancouver has scored 22 goals in six games.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Beaten once in relief
Garand stopped 11 of 12 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals. Washington's third goal was an empty-netter.
Garand entered the contest midway through the second period after Igor Shesterkin suffered a lower-body injury, taking over with the score tied 1-1. The 24-year-old netminder played 29:45 and allowed the eventual game-winning goal to Boone Jenner at 17:38 of the middle frame. Garand finished with a .917 save percentage and should be in line for more starts if Shesterkin is forced to miss extended time. While this performance was encouraging considering the circumstances, the Rangers would suffer a huge blow if they're forced to play Garand as their No. 1 goaltender regularly in the coming weeks. He could be in line to start Sunday against the Canucks if Shesterkin isn't recovered by then.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Blanks Wings in season debut
Garand turned aside all 22 shots he faced in Friday's 2-0 win over the Red Wings.
The 24-year-old netminder made early saves, and the Rangers' defense locked things down late, with Garand facing only two shots in the third period. It was his first career shutout in just his fourth NHL game, and if he continues to shine as Igor Shesterkin's backup, New York could have a tough decision to make once Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) is cleared to return.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Starting against Detroit
Garand will defend the road crease against Detroit on Friday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
The Rangers are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, so Garand will make his season debut since Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) is on injured reserve. Across three regular-season appearances with the Rangers last year, Garand went 2-0-1 with a 1.62 GAA and .948 save percentage.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Called up Thursday
Garand was recalled from AHL Hartford on Thursday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
Garand was waived by the Rangers on Sunday and subsequently sent to the minors after going unclaimed. However, Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday and is considered week-to-week, so Garand will rejoin the NHL club to provide additional depth behind Igor Shesterkin. Garand could draw the start in Detroit on Friday since Shesterkin will start at home against the Lightning on Thursday in the first half of a back-to-back set.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Headed to waivers
Garand Mollie Walker of the New York Post on waivers by the Rangers on Sunday, per Mollie Walker.
After a highly anticipated training camp battle between Garand and Joonas Korpisalo, the Rangers opted to go with the latter. While Korpisalo has more NHL experience, sources close to the team disclosed that the Rangers believe Garand needs more time playing as a No. 1 option to aid in his development. The 24-year-old backstop was excellent in his first three NHL outings last season, where he posted a 2-0-1 record, a 1.62 GAA and a .948 save percentage. While he had an up and down season with AHL Hartford across 36 regular-season appearances a year ago, the Rangers will risk losing him through waivers in an effort to get him more reps as a true lead option in the minors.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Plays full game Monday
Garand made 28 saves on 31 shots during Monday's 3-2 preseason loss to the Devils.
Garand played the entirety of Monday's game. A fourth-round pick by the Rangers in 2020, Garand is looking to earn the No. 2 gig behind Igor Shesterkin in 2026-27. Joonas Korpisalo, who has much more NHL experience than Garand, is also competing for that role, but Garand impressed in three games with the Rangers last season, going 2-0-1 with a .948 save percentage and 1.62 GAA. Head coach Mike Sullivan also mentioned Garand's overall development at the start of training camp, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post, so the Rangers' goaltending depth chart is far from certain at this point.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Set to start Monday
Garand is expected to defend the road net in Monday's preseason matchup against New Jersey, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
Garand was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, which indicates he will start, but Callum Tung could enter the game in relief at some point. The 24-year-old Garand had a 2-0-1 record with a 1.62 GAA and a .948 save percentage in three appearances with the Rangers during the 2025-26 regular season. He is competing with Joonas Korpisalo at training camp for the No. 2 goalie role behind Igor Shesterkin.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Set to compete for backup goaltending job
Head coach Mike Sullivan indicated Wednesday that Garand and Joonas Korpisalo will compete for the Rangers' backup goaltending job during training camp, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Igor Shesterkin enters the 2026-27 campaign as the Rangers' No. 1 option in the crease, but Garand and Korpisalo will have a chance to compete for the No. 2 role. Both Garand and Korpisalo drew praise from Sullivan during Wednesday's press availability, with the bench boss emphasizing Garand's overall growth and development last season. Garand got his first taste of action in the NHL late last year, and he went 2-0-1 with a 1.62 GAA and .948 save percentage across three regular-season appearances with the Rangers.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Signs two-year deal
Garand signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Rangers on Sunday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Garand had a 2-0-1 record while allowing only five goals on 96 shots in three appearances for the Rangers last campaign. He also went 16-15-2 with a 2.83 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 36 regular-season appearances with AHL Hartford in 2025-26. The 24-year-old will compete for the backup role behind Igor Shesterkin during training camp.

Rangers' Dylan Garand: Earns win in season finale
Garand stopped 29 of 31 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
Garand got the start between the posts since the Rangers had nothing to play for in this regular-season finale, and in his first appearance since March 27, he delivered a solid outing while posting a .935 save percentage. Garand only made three appearances in 2025-26, going 2-0-1 with a 1.62 GAA and a .948 save percentage. He passed the eye test, but three games isn't enough to project the kind of goaltender he'll be at the next level. He's expected to battle for the No. 2 role next season with the confirmed retirement of Jonathan Quick,
