Goaltender Joonas Korpisalo began his return to the New York Rangers organization with a strong performance for the AHL's Hartford Wolf Pack, stopping 34 shots in his first outing. The Finnish netminder, who previously played for the Rangers during the 2022-23 season, was assigned to Hartford on a conditioning stint.
Korpisalo's 34-save effort came in a game reported on November 5, 2026, marking his first appearance in the Rangers system since being traded to the Ottawa Senators in 2023. The 30-year-old goaltender signed a one-year contract with New York in the offseason after spending last season with the Boston Bruins organization.
The Rangers acquired Korpisalo to provide veteran depth in goal behind starter Igor Shesterkin. His assignment to Hartford allows him to regain game rhythm after limited NHL action in recent seasons. Korpisalo has 173 career NHL wins across stints with Columbus, Los Angeles, Ottawa, Boston, and New York.
