Rangers sign Quick to 1-year extension
Jonathan Quick isn't ready to hang up his pads just yet.
Quick agreed to a one-year extension with the New York Rangers on Wednesday, the team announced.
The contract contains a $1.55-million cap hit, a source told the New York Post's Mollie Walker.
Quick has posted a .896 save percentage and a 3.14 goals-against average in 21 games with the Rangers this season. He's stopped minus-0.86 goals above expected, per Evolving-Hockey.
Quick was much more effective in his first campaign with the Rangers, recording a .911 save percentage and 12.82 goals saved above expected a year ago.
The 39-year-old notched the 63rd shutout of his career March 2, putting him one away from tying Rangers legend Henrik Lundqvist for a share of 17th on the all-time list. Quick's 402 victories rank 14th in NHL history, one shy of matching Hall of Famer Grant Fuhr.
A native of Milford, Connecticut, Quick won a pair of Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe Trophy during his 16-year run with the Los Angeles Kings.
