New York Rangers waive James Reimer and place Sean Durzi on injured reserve

The New York Rangers have made several roster adjustments ahead of an upcoming road trip. The team placed veteran goaltender James Reimer on waivers, making him available to the rest of the NHL. If Reimer clears waivers, he is expected to be assigned to the team’s AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Reimer, who signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Rangers recently, has appeared in four games this season with only one start. The move comes as goaltender Joonas Korpisalo nears a return to the lineup following a foot infection. Korpisalo has begun a conditioning stint with the Hartford Wolf Pack to prepare for NHL action.

Additionally, the Rangers placed defenseman Sean Durzi on injured reserve, retroactive to October 26. Durzi is expected to miss the team’s upcoming four-game road trip through the Pacific Division due to an undisclosed injury.
