The 40-year-old played his first 16 seasons for the Los Angeles Kings, who selected him in the third round (No. 72) of the 2005 NHL Draft. He made his NHL debut on Dec. 6 2007, making 17 saves in an 8-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres.
Quick would go on to lead the Kings to two Stanley Cup championships (2012, 2014). He also won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2012, voted as most valuable player of the playoffs when he went 16-4 with a 1.41 goals-against average and .946 save percentage.
He was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets by the Kings on March 1, 2023, then one day later was sent to the Vegas Golden Knights, where he won the Cup again as a backup.
The native of Milford, Connecticut, signed a one-year contract with New York on July 1, 2023. He has played three seasons with New York.
Entering Monday, he’s 410-306-90 with a 3.09 GAA and .893 save percentage in 828 regular-season games. He’s 49-43 with a 3.34 GAA and .904 save percentage in 92 postseason games.
“The organizations I have been part of have been great to me,” Quick said. “There’s tons of people who I am grateful to for what they have done for me and my family over the years. … I was fortunate to be part of some really great hockey teams, and I am proud to have been part of them.”
