Rangers Re-Sign Goaltender Dylan Garand to Two-Year Contract
Garand’s deal includes a two-way first year, giving New York flexibility as it weighs other options for Igor Shesterkin’s backup, the team said.
- On Sunday, the New York Rangers signed goaltender Dylan Garand to a two-year contract extension, positioning the 24-year-old to compete for the backup role behind Igor Shesterkin following Jonathan Quick's retirement.
- Following a last-place finish in the Eastern Conference, the Rangers are aggressively seeking roster improvements to address depth across multiple areas after a disappointing season.
- In three games last season, Garand recorded a 2-0-1 record with a 1.62 goals-against average and.948 save percentage; the two-year deal includes a two-way first year at $850,000 and a one-way second year at $900,000.
- The Rangers could still sign veteran free agents to compete for the backup role, with options including two-time Stanley Cup winner Sergei Bobrovsky, Frederik Andersen, former Edmonton Oiler Stuart Skinner, and former Ranger Cam Talbot.
- With the NHL Draft arriving next week, the organization remains focused on addressing scoring needs while assessing how younger players can contribute next season.
