Rangers sign James Reimer to support rookie goalie Dylan Garand
Summary

The New York Rangers signed veteran goalie James Reimer to a one-year contract on Sunday, intended to provide support for rookie Dylan Garand. Garand has faced heavy workload following Igor Shesterkin's season-ending injury on October 9, starting seven consecutive games. Reimer's addition aims to prevent Garand from burning out, especially as Joonas Korpisalo remains sidelined with a foot infection. Coach Mike Sullivan acknowledged the importance of managing goalies' workloads to maintain performance levels. Garand's recent performance has dipped, and the Rangers seek improvement in their defensive consistency as they address recent road losses.
