The New York Rangers are scouting veteran goalie trade options, but Dylan Garand has cemented his place as the starter. We break down his .929 SV%, 98th-percentile high-danger metrics, and why Chris Drury only needs a backup.

Writer Brian Germinaro argues that New York Rangers goaltender Dylan Garand has earned the right to remain the team's starter. Following a season-ending lower-body injury to Igor Shesterkin, Garand stepped into the crease and led the 7-3-1 Rangers to nine points across his starts, posting a 1.85 goals against average and a .929 save percentage through seven games.
While trade rumors suggest New York may acquire an outside goaltender, Germinaro contends any incoming veteran should serve strictly as an insurance policy. He highlights Garand's .955 high-danger save percentage, suggesting the Rangers maintain Garand as the primary option as long as his strong form continues.
