🔮 The Rangers said Oct. 10 that Korpisalo would miss another four weeks.
🔮 In an eight-game stretch filled with revenge and fixing wrongs to start the season, Thursday will mark another chance for the Rangers.
🔮 The scene that unfolded Tuesday night at the Garden — the “Dy-lan” chants echoing just weeks after he’d been waived, the latest sign that maybe these Rangers can survive without Igor Shesterkin — almost never had a chance to materialize.
🔮 But then Daniels went down, the Commanders couldn’t get back to the line of scrimmage in time and they were left dealing with the consequences of the brutal management — with Quinn, spiking his headset on the field and later putting his hands on his head, capturing the weight of the moment. Magic Johnson, who owns a stake in the Commanders, said he was in “total disbelief.”
🔮 We thought we’d make a little tweak and see if we could get it going a little bit, and obviously, Gabe was a part of the goal, so we were happy about that.
🔮 His window of opportunity is fleeting with Hall week to week, but Allen flashed what the Jets’ two-pronged rushing attack could resemble with both Allen and Hall healthy.
🔮 This was the performance that — if it stacks together week after week — will validate their decision to draft him at No. 2 overall and pass on others.
🔮 His 22-yard rush — on a third down in the fourth quarter when it looked like they would settle for a field goal — gave the Jets the lead for good.
🔮 Marvin Harrison Jr., the No. 4 overall pick in 2024 and the son of the Hall of Fame wideout, will be inactive Sunday as Arizona finalizes a trade, according to ESPN.
🔮 Manning, given his family’s history at the quarterback position, entered Texas with massive expectations and has been projected as one of the top picks in next year’s draft, and an AFC scout told ESPN that they think “someone will fall in love with what he can be in a few years.”

🔮 The Rangers said Oct. 10 that Korpisalo would miss another four weeks.

Claims (11 extracted, 0 hedged)

The Rangers are adding some veteran goaltending depth to their organization in the wake of Igor Shesterkin’s season-ending injury and Joonas Korpisalo’s presence on long-term injured reserve. asserted
Rangers → add → reserve
James Reimer, the 38-year-old who has played in 539 career NHL games, signed a professional tryout agreement with AHL Hartford, the Wolf Pack announced Monday. asserted
Pack → play → Hartford
Reimer can play in up to 25 games before they’d need to make a call on his future, and Hartford’s depth has been thinned with Dylan Garand and Spencer Martin — who began the season as the Blueshirts’ top two AHL options — now in the NHL. asserted
who → play → NHL
The Rangers said Oct. 10 that Korpisalo would miss another four weeks. asserted
Korpisalo → say → weeks
Reimer hasn’t started more than 25 games in a season at the NHL level since 2022-23, and last year, he appeared in 14 with the Senators — including 13 starts — while posting a 7-4-2 record, an .886 save percentage and a 2.42 goals against average. asserted
he → start → average
For his career, which began with six years with the Maple Leafs starting in 2010-11, Reimer has recorded a .909 save percentage and 2.87 goals against average. asserted
Reimer → begin → average
He’s not exactly a splashy name to drastically alter the Rangers’ goaltending picture, but Reimer will still get a chance to carve out a place on the depth chart that has already experienced an overhaul since opening night. asserted
that → ’ → night
Before the Blueshirts’ second game of the season, Korpisalo was ruled out with a lower-body injury, and just over a week later, Shesterkin sustained a season-ending right knee injury. asserted
Shesterkin → rule → injury
That forced Garand — who’d lost the backup competition in training camp and was sent to Hartford after clearing waivers before getting recalled after Korpisalo’s injury — to become the starter. asserted
who → force → injury
Garand has thrived with his chance so far, winning both of his starts since Shesterkin’s injury entering Thursday’s match with the Devils. asserted
Garand → thrive → Devils
He has collected a .951 save percentage and 1.15 goals against average through his four appearances, with both numbers leading NHL goaltenders with at least three appearances. asserted
numbers → collect → appearances
