Montreal Canadiens recall defenceman David Reinbacher from AHL - thecanadianpressnews.ca

The Hartford Wolf Pack, the AHL affiliate of the New York Rangers, have signed unrestricted free agent goaltender James Reimer to a professional tryout agreement on Thursday. The Rangers are dealing with the injuries at the goaltending position. Franchise goaltender Igor Shesterkin is out for the season after suffering a knee injury on Oct. 9. Dylan Garand, 24, is currently the starter while Joonas Korpisalo remains on the injured reserve with a lower-body. Reimer, 38, joined the Ottawa Senators midway through the 2025-26 season and went 7-4-1 with a 2.42 goals-against average and an .886 save percentage. He did not appear in the team’s four-game loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round of the playoffs. The 6-foot-2 netminder is coming off a one-year, $850,000 contract. Drafted 99th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2006, Reimer has a career 232-191-67 record with a .909 save percentage and 2.88 GAA split between the Maple Leafs, San Jose Sharks, Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, Detroit Red Wings, Anaheim Ducks, Buffalo Sabres, and Senators.

After being placed on NHL waivers on Wednesday, Vancouver Canucks forward Aatu Räty has cleared waivers and will report to AHL Abbotsford. Raty clearedRäty, 23, has appeared in just four of the Canucks’ eight games this season. He scored into the empty net to ice the game in his season debut against the Calgary Flames, but has since been held off the scoresheet. The Finnish centre has served as the fourth-line centre in all his games this season, and his ice time reflects that, with sub-10 minutes in three of those contests. He has the lone point, four shots on goal, two penalty minutes, and a minus-two rating, while averaging 10:10 this season. Known as a faceoff ace, Räty won 56.8% of his draws this season. The 6’2″ centreman found himself further down the depth chart now with the return of Filip Chytil tonight against the Florida Panthers. Similarly, we saw the same at Canucks training camp. Once viewed as the Canucks’ sure-fire fourth-line centre to begin the year, Räty found himself centring a line with Ty Mueller and Trey Fix-Wolansky, two forwards destined to start the season in the AHL Abbotsford.

Published: October 17, 2026 at 2:22p.m. EDTThe Detroit Red Wings have placed defenceman Jacob Bernard-Docker on waivers, according to Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch. The 26-year-old battled an upper-body injury and was activated from injured reserve last week. He has yet to play a game at the NHL level this season. Bernard-Docker had one goal and five points in 63 games with Detroit last season while averaging 14:49 of ice time per game. A native of Banff, Alta., Bernard-Docker was selected No. 26 overall in the 2018 NHL Draft by the Ottawa Senators. He spent parts of five seasons in the nation’s capital before joining the Buffalo Sabres via trade in March of 2025. Bernard-Docker then signed as a free agent with the Red Wings later that summer. He is currently on a two-year deal that runs through 2027-28 and pays him $1.6 million annually. He has seven goals and 29 points in 207 career NHL regular season games spread out over six seasons.
