New York Rangers News

Korpisalo has been loaned to Hartford (AHL) on a conditioning assignment.

Korpisalo joined the Rangers in the offseason but suffered a lower-body injury before he could make his season debut and has been sidelined since. The 32-year-old Finnish goalie posted a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV% in 31 games last season with the Boston Bruins (14-9-6). Rookie Dylan Garand has led the way between the pipes for the Rangers since Igor Shesterkin's season-ending injury. That said, Korpisalo should see a decent workload when he returns to action.

Rempe is expected to draw back into the lineup vs. St. Louis on Tuesday.

Luke Glendening will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Rempe to re-enter the lineup. The 24-year-old Rempe has only played two games this season, averaging 6:46 time-on-ice, recording zero points, five penalty minutes, and 11 hits.

Garand will start vs. St. Louis on Tuesday.

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.

Chmelar has been recalled from Hartford (AHL).

Chmelar spent an early portion of the season with the Rangers and will return to the team about being recalled on Monday. The 23-year-old Czech forward averaged 8:15 time-on-ice and scored zero point in seven games. Taylor Raddysh has been sent to Hartford (AHL) in a corresponding move.

Korpisalo (lower-body) returned to practice on Friday.

Korpisalo joined the Rangers in the offseason but suffered a lower-body injury before he could make his season debut and has been sidelined since. The 32-year-old Finnish goalie posted a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV% in 31 games last season with the Boston Bruins (14-9-6). Rookie Dylan Garand has led the way between the pipes for the Rangers with Korpisalo sidelined and Igor Shesterkin (lower body) out for the season.

Reimer (upper-body) missed practice on Tuesday and is considered day-to-day.

A season-ending injury to Igor Shesterkin prompted the Rangers to sign Reimer after a successful PTO. The veteran 38-year-old Reimer made his Rangers debut on Monday, but he lasted only one period, allowing three goals on eight shots (.625 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. He missed practice on Tuesday, and it is unclear whether he will be available when New York returns to action on Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers.

James Reimer
Reimer will start and make his Rangers' debut on Monday vs. Los Angeles.

After Igor Shesterkin's season-ending injury, the Rangers have leaned heavily on rookie Dylan Garand, who has been serviceable. Still, they will welcome veteran James Reimer into their crease after signing him following a successful PTO. The 38-year-old Reimer was excellent in his only game with Hartford (AHL), recording a 35-save shutout victory. The Ottawa Senators signed Reimer under similar circumstances last season, where he posted a 2.42 GAA and .886 SV% in 14 appearances (7-4-2). The Rangers enter Monday's contest as -126 home favourites against a Los Angeles Kings team that has scored fewer than two goals in seven straight games (2-4-1).
