NHL Team Abruptly Waives Player Just After 1 Start Over Blunder in Game

20 minutes. That is all the time James Reimer got as a New York Ranger. The 38-year-old goaltender joined the team during an injury crisis, hoping to provide support. Instead, he got one start and a ticket to waivers. The Rangers did not wait to see if he could help. The team initially signed James Reimer because two of its regular goaltenders, Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo, were unavailable. This left young Dylan Garand with a heavy workload. However, Korpisalo is now getting closer to a return, and the Rangers seem ready to change their goaltending plans again.
