Goalie Joonas Korpisalo rejoined the Rangers for practice Friday for the first time since contracting a foot infection at the beginning of the season.

Participating for around 30 minutes, Korpisalo saw plenty of shots and got some work in before heading off the ice a bit earlier than the rest of the team. The 32-year-old only just resumed skating last weekend, to put his abbreviated practice in perspective.

“It’s a big step for Korpy,” head coach Mike Sullivan said after practice. “He’s still under the guise of the workload management with our medical department, so it was by design he didn’t stay the whole time out there today. It’s a big step for him, joining the team.”

Shortly after the Rangers put Korpisalo on injured reserve, the Finn was given a four-week timeline to return.
