New York Rangers claim Alex Auld

Alex Auld didn't have to wait long to find out where he will be playing the remainder of the NHL season.  Auld was waived by the Dallas Stars last week and was claimed by the New York Rangers Saturday.  Auld joins fellow Thunder Bay boy Marc Staal and will be backing up Henrik Lundqvist.

Alex Auld put on waivers

Thunder Bays' Alex Auld has found himself in limbo again. The 29 year old goalie has been placed on waivers by the Dallas Stars. NHL clubs have until noon on Thursday to claim Auld. If that doesn't happen the Stars can keep him on their roster or send him to the minors. Auld is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on July the first. He is making 1 million dollars for this current season. The Stars were able to make the move with the aquisition of Kari Lehtonen from Atlanta.
