Eddie Giacomin, who came to the NHL relatively late but made up for lost time by becoming one of the steadiest goaltenders of his era while spending 10 seasons with the Rangers, and whose poignant return to Madison Square Garden as a member of the Detroit Red Wings during the 1975-76 season remains one of New York hockey’s lasting memories, died Sunday. He was 86. 

Giacomin, then 36, had been placed on waivers by the Rangers after he got off to a slow start to the season and was quickly claimed by Detroit. Two days later, Giacomin, his head still spinning, returned to the Garden as a member of the Red Wings and was greeted by chants of “Eddie-Eddie-Eddie” even before the national anthem was played, moving the popular goaltender wearing Detroit’s unfamiliar red jersey and the equally unfamiliar No. 31 to tears.
