The more goaltenders secured on a NHL team's roster, the better.
On Sunday, New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced that the Rangers had agreed to terms with goaltender Dylan Garand on a one-year contract extension. The netminder's history with the Blueshirts goes back to 2020; he was the No. 103 overall pick of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. His extension is important to the franchise, as he regularly contributes to the American Hockey League affiliate of the Hartford Wolf Pack and could serve as a solid backup when either Igor Shesterkin or Jonathan Quick are unavailable.
