## Resource

Dylan Garand just inked a two-year deal with the New York Rangers and is poised to become Igor Shesterkin’s backup — with a twist: his first year is two-way, but the second is one-way and he’ll be a restricted free agent. With Jonathan Quick retiring next season, Garand’s path to the NHL is clearer than ever. No longer waiver-exempt, he’s motivated to prove himself — and he’s been training hard this summer. His late-season NHL cameo was impressive: three games, 2-1 record, stellar stats, and he became the first Rangers rookie goalie since Henrik Lundqvist in 2005 to score a point in each of his first three starts. He even earned his first win with 35 saves in his debut. Before that, he dominated in the AHL, winning six of his last nine starts. Drafted in the fourth round in 2020, Garand has already earned international gold with Canada at the World Juniors. He’s ready to handle the pressure and fight for that full-time spot in New York.
