This is exactly what the New York Rangers didn’t need. At the same time, it’s probably not a big deal.
On Thursday, the team announced that they’ve called up goaltender Brandon Halverson on an emergency basis for the road game in Carolina against the Hurricanes. They’ve done so thanks to a lower-body injury plaguing starter Henrik Lundqvist.
OFFICIAL: #NYR have recalled goaltender Brandon Halverson from the @SwampRabbits of the ECHL on an emergency basis.
