The Story in 60 Seconds

The New York Rangers have placed goaltender Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve and recalled Dylan Garand to the NHL roster. Korpisalo is considered week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, despite not having appeared in a regular-season game yet this season.

It remains unclear when Korpisalo suffered the injury, as no issues were reported during Wednesday's practice or Tuesday's game in Boston. With the Rangers facing a back-to-back set against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings, Garand could see playing time in goal.
