With the Hartford Wolf Pack struggling, the Rangers have signed goalie Spencer Martin to a two year contract. Martin, a 30 year old journeyman, was with the Carolina Hurricanes organization last season and started this season in the KHL. Martin is not an NHL goalie by any stretch, and he’s an odd choice for Hartford as well with Dylan Garand cemented as the starter.
Hartford’s problem isn’t really in net. They can’t score and they aren’t very disciplined. So it’s a bit odd they signed Martin, especially to a two year contract. Just to repeat: He’s not insurance on Jonathan Quick.
Martin will need to clear waivers before he is reassigned to Hartford.
