This extension follows Quick’s initial one-year deal with the Rangers last July, a move that has proven to be a valuable addition to the team. The 38-year-old goaltender has been a stabilizing force behind Igor Shesterkin, amassing a commendable 13-5-2 record and showcasing a .916 save percentage during the current NHL season.
Quick, a seasoned veteran with an illustrious career, spent the first 16 years with the Los Angeles Kings, where he earned two Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe. His journey led him to the Vegas Golden Knights last season, culminating in his third Stanley Cup championship, although he didn’t see any playoff action.
The 2022-23 season was a rollercoaster for Quick, involving trades from the Kings to the Columbus Blue Jackets and eventually landing with the Vegas Golden Knights. Despite a challenging regular season with a 16-15-6 record and a .901 save percentage, Quick’s leadership played a pivotal role in Vegas’s championship run.
Drafted 72nd overall by the Kings in 2005, Jonathan Quick boasts a remarkable career record of 388-282-86, spanning his tenure with the Kings, Golden Knights, and now the Rangers. His experience and championship pedigree make him a valuable asset as the Rangers continue their pursuit of a Stanley Cup.
