New York Ranger set to achieve major milestone no other American born player has done
Jonathan Quick has 394 wins in the NHL, during his career. He's played with two other teams, since his exit from Los Angeles, and even had a short stint in Columbus.
Johnny, they hardly knew ye, but NHL fans have had a treasure in Quick who is known as a good guy, and a mentor to young enforcer Matt Rempe.
But he's on the cusp of a career milestone in the NHL.
Since joining the Rangers, Jonathan Quick has 21 wins in his 29 starts for a 2.45 GAA and .917 SV%. But wait, it gets even better.
With his shutout victory last night, Quick now has at least one shutout in 17 consecutive seasons.
He's only made four appearances this season, but his 1.17 GAA & .964 SV% leads all goalies in the #NHL.
Quick, 38, is now just four wins away from becoming the 15th goalie in league history to reach 400 wins and the only U.S. born goaltender to ever reach the feat.
If Quick can find a way to play 6 more games this season and win every start he will join a small group of NHL goalies to reach that record, only 14!
Quick has a storied career in the NHL, winning two Stanley Cups with the Los Angeles Kings in 2012, and 2014.
The latter is completely ironic considering it was against the Blueshirts, and Hank.
Quick discussed his day and day out with the Rangers, after signing an extension late last season.
It's worth wondering how much longer No. 32 can keep it going. This season has opened up possibilities, but he's revived his career by staying in the moment and doesn't plan to alter that approach any time soon.
"It's tough to think like that," he said after signing the extension. "I just try to come in every day and bring whatever I can to the table - compete, work hard and be a good teammate. I like that approach of coming in one day at a time and not thinking too far ahead. That tends to make things confusing."
Honestly, while he is in the latter stages is his career he shows no signs of stopping.
