Dylan Garand News

Since Igor Shesterkin's season-ending injury, the Rangers have relied almost exclusively on Dylan Garand, who returns to the crease on Thursday. The 24-year-old Garand was excellent in his most recent outing, snapping a four-game losing streak and saving 32 of 33 shots (.970 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues. He has a 2.57 GAA and a .905 SV% in 12 games (5-6-1). The Rangers enter Thursday's outing as -142 home favourites against a Philadelphia Flyers team coming off a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild.

After a season-ending injury to Igor Shesterkin, the Rangers were forced to rely on Garand, who performed admirably in early-season action. That said, the 24-year-old rookie has struggled in recent games, allowing 15 goals on 97 shots (.845 SV%) in his last four outings (0-4-0). Still, the Rangers enter Tuesday's outing as slight -115 home favourites against the St. Louis Blues, who are riding a two-game winning streak.

Garand had a forgettable performance last week, allowing four goals on 13 shots (.692 SV%) in a 7-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils, but has otherwise been outstanding after filling in for Igor Shesterkin, who suffered a season-ending injury. The 24-year-old Garand saved 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. He has an impressive 1.85 GAA and .929 SV% in seven games (4-2-1). The Rangers enter Thursday's action as slight -106 road favourites against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that has outscored opponents 9-3 in their last two games (2-0-0).

Garand had a forgetful performance last week, allowing four goals on 13 shots (.692 SV%) in a 7-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils, but bounced back in his following outing, saving 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) in a 1-0 overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Despite his poor outing last week, Garand has filled in admirably for Igor Shesterkin after his season-ending injury, posting a 1.82 GAA and .927 SV% in six games (3-2-1). The Rangers enter Monday's contest as -139 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team on a two-game losing streak (0-2-0).

The season-ending injury to Igor Shesterkin sparked panic among the Rangers faithful, but rookie Dylan Garand has been an impressive replacement so far. The 24-year-old Garand was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has a stellar 1.15 GAA and .951 SV% in four games (3-1-0). The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a New Jersey Devils team that has scored fewer than two goals in three of their last five games (2-3-0).

With Igor Shesterkin (lower body) out for the season, and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) still several weeks away from returning, Garand has been thrust into the spotlight for the Rangers. The 24-year-old goalie cleared waivers earlier this season, but now thrives as the Rangers' de facto starter. Garand saved 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in his previous outing, a 6-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks to improve to 2-1-0 with a 1.20 GAA and .945 SV% this season. The Rangers enter Tuesday's contest as +144 home underdogs against the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are riding a four-game winning streak.

With Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) on Injured Reserve and out week-to-week, the Rangers will turn to Garand to tend the twine Friday in the tail end of a back-to-back. The 24-year-old Garand made his NHL debut last season, posting a 1.62 GAA and .948 SV% in three games (2-0-1). The Rangers enter Friday's contest as slight +115 road underdogs against the Detroit Red Wings.

With Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) on Injured Reserve, out week-to-week, the Rangers have recalled Garand from Hartford (AHL). The 24-year-old Garand made his NHL debut last season, posting a 1.62 GAA and .948 SV% in three games (2-0-1). The Rangers play a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday, so Garand could potentially tend the twine as soon as Friday against the Detroit Red Wings.

After 36 appearances with Hartford (AHL) in 2025-26, Dylan Garand has earned himself a two-year contract extension to remain with the Rangers. The 24-year-old will be given a chance to compete for New York's back up role after an impressive three game appearance last season where he posted a 2-0-1 record with a 1.62 GAA and .948 SV%>

Garand made his NHL debut last month and will tend the twine in the Rangers' final game of the season, an indication that the team is eyeing him as their full-time backup goalie in 2026-27. The 23-year-old Garand has been excellent in limited action at the NHL level, posting a stellar 1.44 GAA and .954 SV% in two games (1-0-1). The Rangers enter Wednesday's contest as +132 road underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team awaiting their first-round playoff matchup against the Montreal Canadiens.

Garand was excellent in his NHL debut last week, saving 35 of 37 shots (.946 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets, and will return to the crease on Friday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 23-year-old Garand was a fourth-round pick of the New York Rangers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, who has a 2.83 GAA and .896 SV% in 36 games (16-15-2) with Hartford (AHL) this season. The Rangers enter Friday's contest as -178 home favourites against a Blackhawks team that was defeated 5-1 last night by the Philadelphia Flyers.
