New York Rangers News

Garand had a forgetful performance last week, allowing four goals on 13 shots (.692 SV%) in a 7-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils, but bounced back in his following outing, saving 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) in a 1-0 overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Despite his poor outing last week, Garand has filled in admirably for Igor Shesterkin after his season-ending injury, posting a 1.82 GAA and .927 SV% in six games (3-2-1). The Rangers enter Monday's contest as -139 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).

Raddysh spent most of the 2025-26 season with the Rangers, but has started 2026-27 with Hartford (AHL), where he has five points (3G / 2A) in five games. The 28-year-old forward has 119 points (52G / 67A) in 373 career NHL games. Jaroslav Chmelar has been sent to Hartford in a corresponding move.

Chmelar was a healthy scratch in New York's previous game, and he will head down to Hartford (AHL). The 23-year-old Czech forward scored zero points and averaged 8:15 time-on-ice in seven games. Taylor Raddysh has been recalled in a corresponding move.

The season-ending injury to Igor Shesterkin sparked panic among the Rangers faithful, but rookie Dylan Garand has been an impressive replacement so far. The 24-year-old Garand was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has a stellar 1.15 GAA and .951 SV% in four games (3-1-0). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a New Jersey Devils team that has scored fewer than two goals in three of their last five games (2-3-0).

Beaudoin was drafted 24th overall by Utah in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and made his NHL debut this season. The 20-year-old forward is averaging 8:47 time-on-ice and has zero points in four games. Justin Dowling was recalled from Hartford in a corresponding move.

Dowling, a 36-year-old NHL veteran of 154 games, only played twice last season, but could get a chance to draw into New York's lineup after being recalled from Hartford (AHL) on Wednesday. Cole Beaudoin was reassigned to Hartford in a corresponding move.

Matt Rempe will re-enter New York's lineup on Tuesday, sending Chmelar to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Chmelar is averaging 8:11 time-on-ice, recording zero points and 11 hits in six games.

Jaroslav Chmelar will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Rempe to re-enter the lineup. The 24-year-old Rempe played 9:49 time-on-ice in his only game this season, recording six hits.

With Igor Shesterkin (lower body) out for the season, and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) still several weeks away from returning, Garand has been thrust into the spotlight for the Rangers. The 24-year-old goalie cleared waivers earlier this season, but now thrives as the Rangers' de facto starter. Garand saved 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in his previous outing, a 6-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks to improve to 2-1-0 with a 1.20 GAA and .945 SV% this season. The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as +144 home underdogs against the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are riding a four-game winning streak.
