The New York Rangers and goaltender Jaroslav Halak agreed to terms on a one-year deal, the team announced Wednesday.
The contract is worth $1.55 million, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
The Rangers were in need of a new backup netminder for Igor Shesterkin after sending Alexandar Georgiev to the Colorado Avalanche. Halak, 37, spent the past season with the Vancouver Canucks.
Halak went 4-7-2 and authored a .903 save percentage and 2.94 goals against average in 17 appearances with the Canucks in 2021-22.
He owns a career .916 save percentage in 556 career appearances across 16 seasons.
