The NHL’s New York Rangers announced today that the team has agreed to terms with Connecticut freshman goaltender Callum Tung on a three-year, entry-level contract.
Tung will report to the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack on an amateur tryout for the remainder of this season.
The Port Moody, B.C., native posted a 10-4-1 record, 2.01 goals-against average, and .933 save percentage in 15 games with the Huskies this season, leading them to their first-ever NCAA tournament.
Tung finished his lone season at UConn with the sixth-best save percentage among collegiate goaltenders, 12th-best goals-against average, and tied for the 13th-best win percentage (.700). His save percentage ranked second among Hockey East goaltenders and his goals-against average ranked third.
In addition, Tung allowed two or fewer goals in 11 of his 15 appearances this season.
