TAMPA BAY, Fla. — Dylan Garand’s first taste of the NHL may have come later than he would’ve liked, but the rookie netminder will have spent the last month of the 2025-26 season immersed in an instructive goaltending den filled with two generations of the position’s most elite.
Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick were considered the top goaltending tandem in the NHL at one point.
In the wake of Quick’s retirement, however, the No. 2 job on Broadway is up for grabs.
Earning his first recall since the Rangers drafted him 103rd overall in 2020, Garand has played just two games, but the most valuable part of the 23-year-old’s experience might just be watching Shesterkin and Quick go about their daily routines at each of their respective career stages.
