The New York Rangers are known for elite goaltending, a reputation built over the past three decades. From Mike Richter leading them to a Stanley Cup in 1994 to Henrik Lundqvist’s dominance in the 2000s and early 2010s, strong netminding has been a franchise staple. That tradition continues in the 2025–26 season with Igor Shesterkin expected to have another standout year, and Jonathan Quick providing reliable backup support.
But what about beyond the NHL roster? The Rangers have a solid group of goalie prospects in development. Here’s how they rank, and who might eventually rise to the top.
Top Goalie Prospects in the System
Dylan Garand
Garand is currently the most promising goalie prospect in the Rangers’ pipeline. The former fourth-round pick is set to be the starter for the Hartford Wolf Pack after a breakout season, posting a .913 save percentage and a 2.73 GAA. Though he’s considered slightly undersized for an NHL starter, his skills and potential are undeniable. He’s likely a season or two away from being NHL-ready but is expected to be the first option for a call-up if needed.
Talyn Boyko
Boyko, known for his towering 6-foot-7 frame, spent the majority of last season in the ECHL but made a solid impression in his limited AHL action. Over five AHL games, he posted a .917 save percentage and a 2.61 GAA. His time with the Tulsa Oilers in the ECHL also showcased his potential. While athleticism remains a concern, Boyko is set to be Hartford’s backup this season and could evolve into a borderline NHL starter.
Still Developing
Callum Tung
Tung made a brief but encouraging AHL debut last season, allowing only three goals on 28 shots across two games. His performance at UConn was even more impressive, with a .933 save percentage and 2.01 GAA in 15 games. However, due to his limited experience at higher levels, he’ll likely begin the upcoming season in the ECHL to ease into the pro game. He’s still a few years out but could become a solid NHL starter if his development goes smoothly.
Hugo Ollas
Standing at 6-foot-8, Ollas is another massive goalie with boom-or-bust potential. After playing in Sweden and at Merrimack College, he moved to the ECHL, where he posted a .904 save percentage and 3.12 GAA across stints with the Bloomington Bison and Worcester Railers. While the numbers haven’t been standout, there’s still time for growth. Ollas likely needs more seasoning in the ECHL before advancing, and at this stage, he projects more as a depth option or fringe NHL player.
