Jaroslav Halak: Dropped from tryout
Halak was released from his tryout by the Hurricanes on Monday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Antti Raanta figures to remain the No. 1 option for the Canes while Pyotr Kochetkov serves as the backup. For his part, Halak could be facing the end of his playing career unless he wants to play overseas.

Rangers' Jaroslav Halak: Allows three in loss
Halak made 18 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
Timothy Liljegren scored early in the third to tie the game 1-1 after his shot hit off Niko Mikkola's stick and fluttered through Halak's five-hole. William Nylander roofed a shot from in tight about five minutes later to knot things 2-2. And Noel Acciari jammed in his own rebound five minutes later to push the Leafs ahead to stay. Halak is 0-2-1 in his last three games and will likely spend the Rangers' postseason run on the end of the bench.

Rangers' Jaroslav Halak: Needed in relief Saturday
Halak turned aside four of five shots after replacing Igor Shesterkin to begin the third period of Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.
The Rangers are playing some awful defense these days, and the team has given up at least four goals six times in the last 10 games, making life difficult for whichever goalie is between the pipes. With New York back in action Sunday at home against the Kings, Halak seems likely to get the nod despite his unimpressive 2.72 GAA and .902 save percentage on the season.
