Story summary

The New York Rangers have made a risky decision regarding their backup goalie by putting Dylan Garand on waivers. If another team claims Garand, the Rangers will lose him for nothing, but they believe he needs more development time rather than immediate NHL action. Should Garand clear waivers, he would become the top goaltender for AHL Hartford. The move also affects forward Taylor Raddysh, who was left out of the official game group that traveled to UBS Arena in a preseason finale, indicating his uncertain status with the team. This decision highlights the competition among young players vying for spots on an NHL roster and the strategic choices teams make regarding player development versus immediate contribution.

🔮 Shesterkin said he couldn’t tell if the puck went in initially.
🔮 Try it freeIf Ben Rice becomes the centerpiece of the lineup again in the ALDS, depending on the status of Aaron Judge, the Yankees might find some extra comfort in that.
🔮 Drew Rasmussen, who will start Game 1, has posted an impressive 1.81 ERA in 10 career starts — and 11 games — against the Yankees.
🔮 If this season ends up being different for the Rangers, if, by the middle of April and the end of the 84-game marathon, they end up finding themselves on the right side of the playoff cutline, then Thursday — with just over two minutes left, when nearly half of the Rangers’ bench spilled onto the ice to celebrate Igor Shesterkin’s empty-net goal — will serve as the lasting image for when it all started to shift.
🔮 It’s unclear when Korpisalo’s injury occurred, but the IR designation means that he’ll need to miss at least seven days — which would make him eligible to return for the Rangers’ Oct. 9 game against the Capitals.
🔮 But the Schneider and Smits pairing will continue to face plenty of critique.
🔮 That means, when the Blueshirts open up Tuesday night at the Bruins, Smits will likely skate alongside Braden Schneider as he has all preseason.
🔮 The Blueshirts intend to put goaltender Dylan Garand and forward Taylor Raddysh on waivers Sunday, according to The Post’s Mollie Walker, and the first move signifies that Joonas Korpisalo will serve as the No. 2 behind Igor Shesterkin this season.
🔮 That, more than anything, was the space where the Rangers could potentially benefit most from the arrival of Dorofeyev.
🔮 tRY IT NOWWith the Blueshirts’ 2026-27 campaign set to begin Tuesday night, Perreault already has shifted from being a critical piece of the Rangers’ future to an indispensable piece of their present.

And in an ominous sign, Raddysh was one of the players — along with Garand and defenseman Scott Morrow — left out of the official game group that traveled to UBS Arena for what essentially served as a dress rehearsal in the preseason finale.
