Garand was assigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers recalled Spencer Martin in a corresponding move. With Jonathan Quick (lower body) unavailable, Garand has occupied the backup role behind Igor Shesterkin for the last five games. The 23-year-old Garand didn't receive any NHL playing time during his recent stint with the big club, but he should see plenty of starts in the minors.

Garand has been recalled from AHL Hartford by the Rangers, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Garand being recalled is likely not a good sign for the health of the two regular Rangers goalies, Jonathan Quick or Igor Shesterkin. With AHL Hartford, Garand has a 3-6-2 record, 2.96 GAA and an .897 save percentage. If the 23-year-old appears in an NHL game, it will be the first of his career.

Garand posted a 28-save shutout in AHL Hartford's 3-0 win over Springfield on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Garand has started three of the Wolf Pack's four games so far. This was his first win of the season, and it was also the ninth shutout of his AHL career. Based on the early usage, and his 2.04 GAA and .931 save percentage to begin 2025-26, Garand might have the edge over Talyn Boyko should the Rangers need to make a call-up in the crease.

Garand signed a one-year contract extension with the Rangers, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Garand is coming off an impressive year with AHL Hartford, going 20-10-8 with a 2.73 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 39 games. He was a restricted free agent prior to agreeing to this extension with the team. The 23-year-old will probably continue to play in the AHL but would likely be the first goaltender called up should an injury strike either Igor Shesterkin or Jonathan Quick.

Garand was sent to AHL Hartford on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Garand was summoned Tuesday to practice with the Rangers due to Igor Shesterkin's upper-body injury. This move might indicate that Shesterkin will be ready for the Rangers' back-to-back set against Buffalo and Pittsburgh on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, but that hasn't been confirmed. Garand has a 2.73 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 25 outings with Hartford this season.

Garand was recalled from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Garand was Jonathan Quick's backup in the Rangers' 4-3 win over Columbus on Feb. 8 because Igor Shesterkin (upper body) was unavailable. With Shesterkin continuing his recovery, Garand will practice with the Rangers on Tuesday.

Garand was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Due to the absence of Igor Shesterkin (upper body), Garand was Jonathan Quick's backup in Saturday's 4-3 win over Columbus. If Shesterkin remains unavailable after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, Garand could return to the Rangers.

Garand was called up from AHL Hartford on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Jonathan Quick is expected to get the start Saturday, as Igor Shesterkin started against the Penguins on Friday and suffered an upper-body injury that should keep him out of action 1-2 weeks, necessitating the recall of Garand to back up Quick. Garand had a 12-7-4 record with a 2.68 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 23 AHL appearances before his recall.

Garand was assigned to AHL Hartford on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Garand was the backup goalie behind Jonathan Quick in Sunday's 7-5 loss to Seattle. The 22-year-old Garand's return to the minors likely means that Igor Shesterkin (personal) will be available for Monday's home game versus Chicago.

Garand was recalled from AHL Hartford on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Igor Shesterkin (personal) and his wife are expecting the birth of their child, so Garand will probably be Jonathan Quick's backup in Sunday's home game versus Seattle. The 22-year-old Garand has a 7-2-2 record with a 2.42 GAA and a .917 save percentage in 11 AHL appearances this campaign.
