So without a doubt, Quick had to be considered one of the best backup goalies in the Nation Hockey League, Quick is also only four victories away from 400 career wins.

After tonight's win, No. 32 is four victories away from 400. He would be the first U.S.-born goalie to achieve the feat in NHL history.
