It's October 28th. Alright, so The New York Rangers are making some noise in the NHL after losing star goalie Igor Shesterkin to a season-ending injury. Believe it or not, they're sitting second in the Metro Division, which is pretty impressive given the circumstances.

But the Rangers might not be done tweaking their lineup just yet. There's talk of them looking to snag a new goalie. Recently, Adam Gretz from Bleacher Report dropped a suggestion that they should target Montreal's Sam Montembeault.

That could be a smart play for a short-term rental this season. Montembeault's got a three-year, $9.5 million deal, but that shouldn't block a deal if the Rangers are serious about contending. With the Canadiens having promising young goalies in Jacob Dobes and Jacob Fowler, Montembeault could be in a bit of a numbers game in Montreal. To sweeten the deal, New York could throw in a forward from their roster who's at least 6-8 caliber along with a prospect or draft pick.

Gotta make it enticing for Montreal to let him go, especially since Montembeault is currently injured. So, it'll be interesting to see if the Rangers make a move before the deadline. Staying competitive in this division is key, and they seem to know it. That's the story for today, New York Rangers News Today, driven by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
