Impact Martin was recalled Sunday, but did not get into a game, as Igor Shesterkin played both contests. The Rangers activated Jonathan Quick (lower body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Returned to AHL Martin was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Saturday.
Completes goalie exchange Martin has been recalled from AHL Hartford by the Rangers, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports Sunday.
Impact It's been an interesting journey this season for Martin. The 30-year-old started the season in the KHL with CSKA Moskva, then he returned to North America and played one game with AHL Hartford. Now, he'll serve as the backup to Igor Shesterkin with Jonathan Quick (lower body) still on injured reserve. Shesterkin will get as many of the starts as he can handle, so it remains to be seen how many starts, if any, Martin will get with the Rangers.

Signs two-year deal Martin signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Rangers on Wednesday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post. He has also been placed on waivers.
Impact Martin is expected to be sent to AHL Hartford if he clears waivers. The 30-year-old had a 2.69 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 14 KHL appearances with CSKA Moscow in 2025-26 before signing with New York. He might get summoned to the Rangers if Igor Shesterkin or Jonathan Quick suffers an injury at some point during the campaign.

Off to KHL Martin signed a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow of the KHL on Wednesday, Tony Androckitis of Inside AHL Hockey reports.
Impact Martin made nine appearances at the NHL level in 2024-25, but he struggled to a 3-4-1 record with a 3.89 GAA and an .846 save percentage. He'll take his services overseas to one of the KHL's stronger teams. At 30 years old, it's possible Martin has played his last NHL game, though a strong performance in Russia could carve a path for him to come back to North America at some point.

Called up from minors Martin was promoted from AHL Chicago on Tuesday.
Impact Martin's elevation to the main roster may not bode well for the availability of Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Devils. Still, recalling Martin could be simply a depth move, considering the Wolves have already been eliminated from the Calder Cup Playoffs.

Sent down to minors Martin was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.
Impact Martin effectively cost himself the backup job in Carolina after going 2-3-1 with a 4.38 GAA and .825 save percentage in his last six outings. Even with Pyotr Kochetkov now healthy after suffering a concussion, the Canes were concerned enough about Martin's play that they signed journeyman backstop Dustin Tokarski to an NHL deal Monday and brought him up to the NHL in favor of Martin on Wednesday.

Chased from net after two periods Martin allowed five goals on 28 shots in two periods of action Saturday of a 6-0 loss to Florida.
Impact The Hurricanes didn't show up Saturday for themselves or Martin, who has basically allowed 10 goals to the Panthers in less than 24 hours. Martin and the Canes were clawed Friday night in a 6-3 loss, too. At this point, we can't recommend Martin, and we can't help but think that the Canes braintrust has to be searching for veteran options to help in net given his play and injuries to both Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion).

Going back-to-back Martin will protect the road goal in Florida on Saturday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.
Impact Martin will play both ends of a back-to-back series with the Panthers as he allowed five goals on 29 shots Friday in a 6-3 loss. Martin is 3-3-1 with a 3.62 GAA and an .850 save percentage this season. The 29-year-old will be backed up by Yaniv Perets as Frederik Andersen (knee surgery) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) are out of action.

Blitzed by Florida in defeat Martin conceded five goals on 29 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers. The sixth marker was an empty-netter.
Impact Martin was attempting to win his third straight game Friday, but Florida struck for three third-period goals to defeat Carolina on home ice. The Ontario native is Carolina's de facto No. 1 netminder at the moment, as Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) are working their way back to full health. Martin is 3-3-1 with an .850 save percentage and a 3.62 GAA through eight appearances.

Facing Panthers Martin will be between the home pipes versus Florida on Friday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Impact Martin will make his third straight start as Frederik Andersen (knee surgery) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) are out of action. Martin is 3-2-1 with a 3.33 GAA and an .856 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Yaniv Perets will back up Martin on Friday.

Second straight win Martin made 19 saves in a 4-3 win over the Rangers on Wednesday.
Impact The Canes played a full 60-minute game and staged a third-period comeback to earn the win. Martin earned his second consecutive win after taking over the starter's reins due to injuries to both Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion). There have been rumors that the Canes might go out and trade for a veteran netminder to help Kochetkov this season, but Martin's recent efforts could quash that rumor fast. That is if he can start stopping a few more pucks. He's allowed seven snipes in those two straight wins.

Expected starter Wednesday Martin is set to start at home against the Rangers on Wednesday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Impact Martin has a 2-2-1 record, 3.40 GAA and .854 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. He allowed four goals on 19 shots en route to a 6-4 victory over Dallas in his last start Monday. The Rangers have an impressive 12-7-1 record and rank 11th offensively with 3.35 goals per game, but they're on a three-game losing streak.

Bailed out by offense Monday Martin made 15 saves in Monday's 6-4 win over the Stars.
Impact Getting his first start since Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) was injured, Martin didn't exactly do much to inspire confidence that he can handle the workload of a No. 1 goalie. Carolina was facing a 3-1 deficit heading into the third period before the offense erupted, and the 29-year-old netminder still gave up a tying tally to make it 4-4 with just over five minutes left before the Hurricanes put the game away. Martin is 2-2-1 in six appearances this season with a 3.40 GAA and .854 save percentage, and it wouldn't be a shock if Yaniv Perets got a look between the pipes Wednesday against the Rangers.

Expected to start Martin will patrol the home crease against Dallas on Monday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Impact Martin has a 1-2-1 record with one shutout, a 3.21 GAA and an .870 save percentage through five appearances this season. He will occupy the No. 1 goalie role for the Hurricanes because of injuries to Frederik Andersen (knee) and Pytor Kochetkov (concussion). Yaniv Perets was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday to be the backup netminder. Dallas is tied for 11th in the league with 3.42 goals per game in 2024-25.

Impact Martin's outing was a short one, and Sean Monahan had the lone shootout tally to decide the game. Depending on the severity of Kochetkov's injury, Martin may be set for No. 1 duties in goal moving forward -- there was no update after the game. Martin is 1-2-1 with 10 goals allowed on 77 shots through five appearances this season, with his lone win being a shutout. The Hurricanes' next game is a tough one at home versus the Stars on Monday.

Concedes four goals Thursday Martin stopped 17 of 21 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Devils.
Impact Martin made his third start of the season, and while that's a small sample size to draw conclusions, he's been all over the place. He recorded a 24-save shutout win over the Senators on Nov. 16, but he gave up at least four goals in the other two starts. Through four total appearances, as he also worked in relief against Utah on Nov. 13, he's gone 1-2-0 with a 3.25 GAA and an .868 save percentage.
