Halak, 38, was brought in by the Carolina Hurricanes on November 6th after the team announced Frederik Andersen would be out indefinitely with a medical issue. The Bratislava native never appeared in any games for the Hurricanes during his PTO.
In 25 games last season for the New York Rangers, Halak had a record of 10-9-5 with a 2.72 goals against average, a .903 save percentage and one shutout.
