Jonathan Quick is not ready to retire just yet. The 39-year-old goalie agreed to terms with the New York Rangers on a one-year contract worth $1.55 million Wednesday.
It’s the third straight one-year contract Quick has signed with the Rangers. He originally signed with them as an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2023. Quick played so well as their No. 2 goalie last season, that the Rangers re-upped him for another season on March 3, 2024. And now before this season concludes, the Rangers again worked out a contract to keep the Connecticut native in New York.
Quick will be 40 when his next contract expires. But the future Hall of Famer is not slowing down. He recently surpassed 800 games played in the NHL and on Feb. 2 became the 15th goalie in NHL history to win 400 games. Since then he passed Chris Osgood on the all-time wins list and is two wins from passing Grant Fuhr (403) for 13th place.
Though coming off a 7-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets in his most recent start Sunday, Quick is a steady reliable backup to Igor Shesterkin at this stage of his career. The three-time Stanley Cup winner is also a respected leader on and off the ice for the Rangers.
Since joining the Rangers, Quick is tied for the most wins by any NHL goalie that’s played fewer than 50 games. Quick is 27-12-4 in 48 games (43 starts) over two seasons with the Rangers. He has a 2.83 goals-against average, .904 save percentage and five shutouts in his Rangers tenure, so far.
Quick had, well, a quick start for the Rangers this season. He won his first four starts and allowed three goals total, picking up consecutive shutouts against the Detroit Red Wings and Seattle Kraken Nov. 9 and 17. But he and Shesterkin were under a brutal two-month siege when the Rangers collapsed defensively amid a horrid 4-15-0 stretch that steadied after the New Year.
Overall, Quick is 9-6-2 this season with a 3.14 GAA, .896 save percentage and three shutouts in 21 games (17 starts).
he winningest United States-born goalie in NHL history is 402-289-88 in 801 games (783 starts) for the Los Angeles Kings, Vegas Golden Knights and Rangers across 18 seasons. Rangers fans have embraced Quick, despite the fact that he outdueled Henrik Lundqvist in the 2014 Stanley Cup Final, when the Kings defeated the Rangers in five games, winning three times in overtime, twice in double OT.
His signing sets the Rangers up in goal next season, when Shesterkin’s record-setting eight-year, $92 million contract kicks in. Goalie prospect Dylan Garand was an AHL All-Star this season; but it appears the 22-year-old is headed for a forth consecutive season with Hartford in the American Hockey League.
