Former Rangers Goalie: Isn't Done Yet and Has More Left in the Tank
Former Rangers goalie Keith Kinkaid has a new shot at a career in the NHL and will be holding on tightly.
The 35-year-old goalie has received a PTO in New York, this time with the Islanders as he hopes to revive his career.
He has faith in his abilities to continue producing as a goalie in the NHL.
«I'm just putting my best foot forward,» Kincaid said via The New York Post. «Be a pro, be a rookie, but just bring some experience. Kinda show the way. This is my 14th season. I just want to do anything I can to turn heads. Still got a lot left in the tank and, yeah, go from there.»
Kinkaid is a journeyman in the NHL, playing for many teams in the last few years including the New Jersey Devils, Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, and last season the Colorado Avalanche.
«You never feel a sense of security or anything,» Kinkaid said. «It's also good 'cause you gotta prove yourself. That's what I'm coming here to do: prove myself. Lou knows me from the beginning of my career, so I'm hoping I can still show them what I got.»
The veteran goalie recently played in the AHL last season, but he hasn't given up his fight to play in the NHL.
Kinkaid played for the Rangers in 2020-2022, with an 8-4-2 record, a .903 save percentage, and a 2.53 GAA.
This year feels special for Kinkaid, as he grew up as a Islanders fan.
«I did grow up an Islander fan,» Kinkaid said. «I loved coming to the Coliseum. That was always a joy of my life. It's really cool. I played for the Devils and Rangers, I'm hoping we can make the Tri-State or Metropolitan-area trio.»
