UConn's Huska Makes NHL Debut with Rangers

Ryan Huska (Connecticut) finally made his NHL debut this week, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Unfortunately for the Slovakian netminder, he took the loss despite making 39 saves as his New York Rangers fell to the visiting Colorado Avalanche, 7-3, on Dec. 8.

Drafted 184th overall by the Rangers in 2015, Huska played three seasons (2017-19) at UConn, where he registered a 20-38-8 record with a 2.90 goals-against and a .908 save percentage in 69 career appearances with the Huskies. After turning professional in 2019, the 6-foot-3 netminder has spent the bulk of his pro career with Hartford (AHL), going 23-20-13 (2.93, .896) in 56 outings for the Wolf Pack.

The 2016-16 USHL Goaltender of the Year with the Green Bay Gamblers, Huska, 24, has also represented his native Slovakia in numerous international competitions, including the Under-18 World Junior Championship, the World Junior Championship and the World Championship.
