Waiver Move Comes Quickly
The Rangers placed James Reimer on waivers after he appeared in just one game. That outing ended after one period when he allowed three goals on eight shots in 20 minutes during a home loss to Los Angeles on Oct. 26. If unclaimed, Reimer could report to the club's American Hockey League affiliate in Hartford.
Garand Carries the Load
Reimer, signed late last month to give Dylan Garand occasional rest, instead saw his lone opportunity end poorly. Garand has since started 11 straight games. The young netminder posted a 1.85 goals-against average and.929 save percentage across his first six appearances before posting marks of 3.50 and.877 over his most recent five outings.
Korpisalo Nears Return
The timing of the waiver decision suggests Joonas Korpisalo is close to rejoining the roster from a lower-body injury. Korpisalo stopped 34 of 37 shots in a minor-league rehab appearance with Hartford on Wednesday night. His early-season injury prompted the earlier recall of Garand, who had cleared waivers before opening night to play regularly in the American Hockey League.
