Carolina announced Monday that Halak will join the team as a free agent tryout.
Halak could end up signing a standard contract with the Hurricanes soon because Frederik Andersen (undisclosed) is undergoing evaluations for a medical issue. If Halak officially joins the roster, he will compete with Antti Raanta for playing time. The 38-year-old Halak posted a 10-9-5 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 25 appearances for the Rangers last season.
