The New York Rangers have signed goaltender Jaroslav Halak to a reported one-year, $1.55 Million contract to backup Igor Shesterkin.
Halak, 37, played for the Vancouver Canucks last season, appeasing in 17 games with a 4-7-2 record. He had a .903 save percentage along with a 2.94 GAA.
The 16-year NHL veteran had played with Montreal, St. Louis, Washington, New York Islanders, Boston, and Vancouver. During that time, he won 285 games.
Over the last two seasons. his role has changed from starter to backup, but it’s one he has accepted. Halak will most likely need to play in no more the 15-18 games with the workload Shesterkin anticipates to have next season.
