That’s his reality, at least until veteran goaltender Joonas Korpisalo returns from injured reserve.
Dylan Garand has taken over as the New York Rangers' starting goaltender less than two weeks after being placed on waivers. The 24-year-old is stepping into the primary role following a season-ending lower-body injury to starter Igor Shesterkin and with backup Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve. Garand is set to make the fifth start of his NHL career on Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks.
