Joonas Korpisalo - NHL News & Rumors

Sharp in second win Korpisalo stopped 29 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Korpisalo took a shutout into the third period but saw it spoiled by Adam Klapka on a Calgary power play. The veteran netminder has won both his starts since recovering from a foot issue and making a belated season debut Saturday against the Kraken. allowing four goals on 58 shots, and the Rangers appear willing to deploy a timeshare between Korpisalo and Dylan Garand until one of them clearly out-performs the other.

Starting against Calgary Korpisalo was the first goalie off the ice during Wednesday's morning skate, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Calgary.

Impact Korpisalo missed over a month to begin the 2026-27 campaign due to his foot injury, but he made his regular-season debut Saturday against the Kraken and turned aside 25 of 28 shots (.893 save percentage) in a 4-3 road victory. He'll draw the start for the second time in the Rangers' last three games Wednesday and should have the opportunity to compete for a role after Dylan Garand handled primary goaltending duties in recent weeks.

Earns win in return Korpisalo turned aside 25 of 28 shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.

Impact Korpisalo was excellent across the first two periods, but shaky down the stretch, as he allowed all three of Seattle's goals in the third. However, the 32-year-old backstop did enough to pick up Saturday's win in his first game of the 2026-27 season. He was kept out of action since before the start of the regular season due to a foot infection. Now that he's back to full strength, he'll likely garner a decent share of the opportunities between the pipes until he or Dylan Garand proves to be the clear No. 1 option in New York. Korpisalo is a decent option to make spot starts in deep fantasy leagues.

Facing Kraken in season debut Korpisalo will defend the road crease in Saturday's road clash against the Kraken, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Impact Korpisalo was activated off injured reserve on Friday , where he spent over a month due to a foot infection. The 32-year-old netminder will not only be making his season debut Saturday, but also his Rangers debut after he was traded to New York from Boston on July 1. He put together mixed results with the Bruins in 2025-26, as he compiled a 14-9-6 record, a 3.15 GAA, a shutout and an .894 save percentage across 31 outings. He'll be a wildcard in fantasy for the time being until we see how the Rangers elect to divide the opportunities between him and Dylan Garand.

Activated off injured reserve Korpisalo (foot) was activated off injured reserve by the Rangers on Friday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Korpisalo was sent to AHL Hartford on Wednesday for a conditioning stint, and he's been cleared to return to game action at the NHL level a few days later. The 32-year-old hasn't yet made his regular-season debut for the Rangers after missing over a month due to a foot infection. Igor Shesterkin (knee) has been ruled out for the season, so Korpisalo will likely have an opportunity to compete with Dylan Garand, who has gone 6-6-1 with a 2.52 GAA and .906 save percentage over 13 appearances this year, for the No. 1 goaltending job.

Rangers put goalie James Reimer on waivers after he made one start for them

James Reimer's time with the New York Rangers appears to be coming to an end after just one start that lasted one period

NOVEMBER 5 • Associated Press

Begins conditioning stint Korpisalo (foot) was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Wednesday for a conditioning stint, Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Impact Korpisalo hasn't played yet this season because of the injury, so this is an opportunity for him to shake off the rust before playing for the Rangers. He's been making progress recently, including his participation in Friday's practice. While he didn't stay on for the full session, that was planned, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic. When Korpisalo is ready to return, he'll have an opportunity to compete for the No. 1 spot. Igor Shesterkin (knee) hasn't played since Oct. 9 and won't return this campaign, which has resulted in the Rangers leaning heavily on Dylan Garand. James Reimer is also on the Rangers' roster, but the 38-year-old has stopped just five of eight shots across 20:00 of ice time since signing with New York on Oct. 25, so he hasn't been a major factor. It's possible Reimer will eventually lose his roster spot once Korpisalo is up to speed.

Out for another four weeks Korpisalo (lower body) will miss at least four more weeks, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Saturday.

Impact Korpisalo has already missed the first six games of the season and remains on injured reserve. The Rangers announced Saturday that Igor Shesterkin (lower body) will miss the remainder of the 2026-27 campaign. With Korpisalo and Shesterkin unavailable, Dylan Garand is currently the Rangers' No. 1 goaltender.

Rangers goalie Joonas Korpisalo is week to week with a lower-body injury, AP source says

New York Rangers backup goaltender Joonas Korpisalo is week to week with a lower-body injury, a person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press

OCTOBER 1 • Associated Press

Out with lower-body injury Korpisalo sustained a lower-body injury and has been placed on injured reserve Thursday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Impact Korpisalo was labeled week-to-week by the Rangers, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back in action in the short term. Last year, the 32-year-old netminder went 14-9-6 in 31 regular-season outings with a 3.15 GAA, .894 save percentage and one shutout. With Korpisalo on the shelf, Dylan Garand has been called up to serve as the No. 2 option in New York.

Not great in shootout win Korpisalo stopped 20 of 23 shots in a 4-3 preseason shootout win over the Devils on Thursday.

Impact Korpisalo's first start of the preseason wasn't all that impressive. The veteran netminder is still the favorite to fill the backup role behind Igor Shesterkin, but Korpisalo has left the door open for Dylan Garand to make a challenge for that gig. All three goalies have started one preseason game, though it's unlikely Korpisalo will go again Friday against the Islanders. Even if he wins the competition, Korpisalo isn't in a fantasy-friendly role -- he's on a rebuilding team and trapped on the depth chart behind a star goalie.
