Korpisalo Hurt. Garand Called Up
There has been no official word yet, but the Rangers today placed goaltender Joonas Korpisalo on Injured Reserve and recalled Dylan Garand from Hartford. The move comes just days after they put Garand on waivers in order to assign him to Hartford. Fortunately for Chris Drury, he wasn’t claimed, otherwise today could have looked very different.
Putting Korpisalo on IR means he’ll be unavailable for seven days, and assuming he was hurt today, it would mean missing the next four games, including Friday in Detroit where it was likely that he would make his New York Rangers debut.
