Date News Advice
April 16, 2026 Halverson was sent to AHL Syracuse on Thursday. - Halverson was the starting goaltender Wednesday in the Lightning's season finale, allowing four goals on 21 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Rangers. Halverson spent most of the 2025-26 campaign at AHL Syracuse, posting a 2.39 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 42 regular-season games. None
April 15, 2026 Halverson was called up by Tampa Bay on Wednesday. - Halverson has a 2.39 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 42 outings with AHL Syracuse in 2025-26. He's also appeared in one game for Tampa Bay this season, but he logged just 0:06 of ice time in that Dec. 13 outing against the Islanders, and he didn't face a shot. Jonas Johansson missed Monday's game against Detroit due to an undisclosed injury, which prompted Tampa Bay to dress emergency backup goaltender Kyle Konin. It's unclear if Johansson is an option to play in Wednesday's home game against the Rangers, but Halverson's promotion suggests he might not be. It's also possible that Johansson is healthy, and Halverson is up to allow Andrei Vasilevskiy to take the Lightning's regular-season finale against New York off as a healthy scratch ahead of the playoffs. None
March 4, 2026 Halverson posted a 16-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 2-0 win over Laval on Wednesday. - Halverson has a personal-best six shutouts this season in the AHL, collecting them in just 30 games. He's 20-6-3 on the year, the second season in a row he has hit the 20-win mark. He has added a 2.17 GAA and a .912 save percentage. The Lightning have only utilized Halverson as an emergency option. However, his success at the AHL level could help him become an option for Tampa Bay's backup role at some point, given Jonas Johansson's struggles. None
Feb. 20, 2026 Halverson posted a 25-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 4-0 win over Charlotte on Friday. - Halverson notched his second shutout in his last three outings, and he's won five starts in a row. He's matched his career high for shutouts in a season with five this year. He's 18-6-3 with a 2.18 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 28 appearances. None
Feb. 14, 2026 Halverson posted a 16-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 5-0 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday. - Halverson is up to four shutouts in 26 appearances this season, one shy of his shutout total from 43 games in the 2024-25 regular season. He's added a 16-6-3 record with a 2.31 GAA and a .907 save percentage. Halverson remains an effective option for organizational depth, but he won't see much action with the Lightning as long as Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jonas Johansson stay healthy. None
Jan. 18, 2026 Halverson was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday. - Halverson has a 12-6-2 record with a 2.42 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 20 AHL appearances this season. He served as Andrei Vasilevskiy's backup in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to St. Louis. With Halverson back in the minors, Jonas Johansson (maintenance) should return to the lineup for Sunday's road matchup against Dallas. None
Jan. 16, 2026 Halverson was called up from AHL Syracuse on Friday. - Halverson posted a 12-6-2 mark with a 2.42 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 20 AHL games this season before his recall. The Lightning have not announced any injury or illness to Andrei Vasilevskiy or Jonas Johansson at this time, which would have triggered the recall of Halverson. None
Jan. 3, 2026 Halverson posted a 17-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 6-0 win over Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. - The Crunch leapt out to a 5-0 lead after one period, and Halverson was barely tested in his third AHL shutout of the season. He's now at 11-4-2 with a 2.43 GAA and an .899 save percentage. He saw some time in the NHL in December, but he didn't face a shot during a brief relief appearance versus the Islanders on Dec. 13. Halverson is the Lightning's No. 3 goalie in the organization. None
Dec. 16, 2025 Halverson was returned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday. - Halverson's demotion could be an indication that Andrei Vasilevskiy (undisclosed) will be ready to at least serve as the backup against the Kings on Thursday, though the Crunch are in action versus AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, so Halverson could feature in that contest and then be recalled back to Tampa Bay. None
Dec. 4, 2025 Halverson was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Thursday. - Halverson hasn't yet appeared in a game for the Lightning this year, but he'll join the NHL club ahead of Thursday's home game against the Penguins.

Oct. 24, 2025 Halverson posted a 19-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 3-0 win over Utica. - Halverson has two shutouts and three wins in four starts to begin the AHL campaign. He's setting himself up well for a call-up should the Lightning lose Andrei Vasilevskiy or Jonas Johansson for any length of time. Halverson will continue to handle a starting role over Ryan Fanti while with the Crunch. None
Oct. 19, 2025 Halverson posted a 31-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 3-0 win over Rochester on Saturday. - Halverson has won both of his starts at the AHL level this season, allowing just two goals on 47 shots. This was his seventh shutout in the AHL, all of which have come with Syracuse in the last three years since he returned to the level following stints in the ECHL and the German second division between 2020 and 2023. Halverson made a start with the Lightning in 2024-25, but he's unlikely to see significant time with the big club unless one of Andrei Vasilevskiy or Jonas Johansson is injured. None
Oct. 3, 2025 Halverson was placed on waivers by the Lightning on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. - Halverson made some starts for the Lightning during preseason play, but if he clears waivers, he'll head to AHL Syracuse for the start of the regular season. He's made just two regular-season appearances in the NHL during his career and will likely spend most of this year in the minors. None
Oct. 2, 2025 Halverson is expected to start Thursday's preseason game at home against the Panthers, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports. - It's not yet clear whether Halverson will play the whole game Thursday, but this could be his final opportunity to tend the twine for the Lightning before the regular season gets underway. The 29-year-old has made just two regular-season appearances in the NHL and will likely spend the bulk of the 2025-26 campaign with AHL Syracuse. None
Sept. 27, 2025 Halverson will guard the home goal in Saturday's preseason game versus the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Halverson will make his second appearance of the preseason. He previously stopped 20 of 22 shots over two periods against Nashville on Tuesday. The 29-year-old is still projected to begin the year at AHL Syracuse, which is where he spent the majority of 2024-25. None
Sept. 23, 2025 Halverson will tend the twine on the road in preseason action against Nashville on Tuesday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports. - Halverson is expected to get the first two periods before 2025 seventh-round pick Caleb Heil takes the third. It would take an extremely strong preseason performance for Halverson to put himself into the mix for a spot on the Opening Night roster, as Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jonas Johansson are cemented as the netminding duo. None
March 26, 2025 Halverson was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday. - Jonas Johansson (personal) rejoined the Lightning Tuesday, which is why Halverson can be returned to the minors. Halverson made his first NHL start Saturday, stopping 19 of 24 shots in a 6-4 loss to Utah. Tampa Bay recalled Cam Atkinson from the AHL in a corresponding move. None
March 22, 2025 Halverson was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Saturday. - Barring an injury or illness, Halverson could be Tampa Bay's third goaltending option behind Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jonas Johansson. The 28-year-old Halverson hasn't appeared in an NHL regular-season game since 2017-18, when he made one appearance with the Rangers. None
Feb. 10, 2025 Halverson was returned to AHL Syracuse on Monday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site. - Halverson has been the backup goalie behind Andrei Vasilevskiy in the last four games. If Jonas Johansson (lower body) remains unavailable after the 4 Nations Face-Off, Halverson could rejoin the Lightning.

Feb. 6, 2025 Halverson was put on waivers Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. - Halverson was signed to a two-year contract by the Lightning on Monday. Halverson will likely be returned to AHL Syracuse, should he pass through waivers, but he could still back up Andrei Vasilevskiy on Thursday, as Jonas Johansson (lower body) remains out of action through the 4 Nations Face-Off break. None
Feb. 3, 2025 Halverson was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Monday after signing a two-year contract with Tampa Bay, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports. - Halverson has a 12-7-7 record with a 2.20 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 26 AHL appearances this season. If Jonas Johansson (lower body) remains unavailable, Halverson could be the backup behind Andrei Vasilevskiy in Tuesday's home game versus Ottawa. None
Sept. 28, 2024 Halverson is attempting an NHL comeback with the Lightning. - Halverson was taken by the Rangers two rounds before Igor Shesterkin in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft but hasn't played in the NHL since his lone game for the organization in 2017-18. Since then, he played in the ECHL and Germany's second division before earning an AHL contract with Syracuse last season. Halverson split his time between the AHL and ECHL in 2023-24 before becoming Syracuse's starter in the Calder Cup Playoffs. He's a long shot, but he has a dream. None
Feb. 17, 2018 Brandon Halverson stopped 5 of 6 shots in the Rangers' 6-3 loss to the Senators on Saturday. Halverson did not factor in the decision and remained at 0-0-0 on the season with a 4.78 GAA and .833 save percentage. None
July 2, 2015 The New York Rangers have signed Halverson to an entry-level contract. General manager Jeff Gorton announced the signing Thursday as prospects skated at the team's Westchester facility. The 19-year-old goaltender appeared in 50 games with Sault Ste. Marie of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) this past season, posting a 40-5-2 record, along with a 2.63 goals against average, a .913 save percentage and six shutouts. Halverson is the first Rangers' draft pick in franchise history to earn at least 40 wins in juniors in one season. He posted a 10-4 record in the playoffs. Halverson was a second-round pick in 2014.
