Jonathan Quick Eager To Begin Second Season With Rangers

Jonathan Quick spent years as one of the premiere starting goaltenders in the NHL for the Los Angeles Kings, but he has adapted to a totally new role as the backup goalie of the New York Rangers.

Quick won two Stanley Cups with the Kings while winning the Conn Smythe Trophy back in 2012.

After getting very limited playing time with the Vegas Golden Knights during the 2022-23 season, it seemed Quick’s career was close to being over.

However, everything changed when he signed with the New York Rangers last summer.

With Igor Shesterkin slumping through the first half of the regular season, Quick played some fantastic hockey and helped the Rangers maintain a top position in the Eastern Conference.

Through 26 starts, the 38-year-old had an 18-6-2 record, 2.62 goals against average and .911 save percentage.

Now, Quick gears up for his second season in New York and has fully embraced his new role. He’s been on championship teams and still feels this current Rangers group is truly special.

"We know what we have in that locker room," goalie Jonathan Quick said via NHL.com. "We know how good of a group we are. You lose and obviously you soak that loss a little bit, that stings for a little bit until you realize you have another season here to look forward to and build into, so you start preparing for that. That's the mindset."

While Quick might not be the superstar goalie we all knew and loved in Los Angeles, he is still extremely valuable for the Rangers as his contributions should not be overlooked.
