NEW DELHI: On Sunday, the New York Rangers announced a major move: veteran goaltender Jonathan Quick’s one-year contract extension, which would last until the 2024–25 NHL season. The team’s faith in Quick’s skills and his important role inside the company is evident in this $1.275 million extension. Quick, a native of Milford, Connecticut, was back on his childhood team last summer after spending the previous season as the Vegas Golden Knights’ backup goalie during their Stanley Cup run.
Quick has performed admirably in his role as Igor Shesterkin’s backup goalie since joining the Rangers. This season, Quick has played in 21 games (20 starts), posting strong results with 13 wins, 5 losses, and 2 overtime losses. He also has a strong 2.45 goals-against average and a.916 save percentage. These numbers highlight Quick’s dependability and efficiency in goal, which has helped the Rangers succeed as they lead their division in the rankings.
Notably, Quick joins the Rangers with a winning legacy and a plethora of experience. He was instrumental in helping the Los Angeles Kings win two Stanley Cup titles in 2012 and 2014 while they were a part of the league. Furthermore, Quick cemented his reputation as a clutch player in high-pressure circumstances by winning the coveted Conn Smythe Trophy as the Most Valuable Player in the postseason following his stellar showing during the 2012 playoffs.
The Rangers have stability and depth in goalie by locking down Quick for another season. With his championship experience, steady play, and expertise as a veteran, Quick is a huge addition to the squad as they aim for further postseason success. In addition to compensating Quick for his efforts, this contract extension demonstrates the Rangers’ dedication to building a strong team that can challenge for the Stanley Cup.
