Jonathan Quick Reveals NHL Retirement, Check Out Rangers Goalie's Hall of Fame Resume

New York Rangers veteran goalie Jonathan Quick announced that he will retire at the end of this season, and Monday night's game against the Florida Panthers was final NHL appearance.

A three-time Stanley Cup winner and the all-time wins leader for American-born goalies, Quick has enjoyed a legendary career that will certainly earn him a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Quick told reporters on Monday that he's known for a while that this would be his last season in the NHL.

"With the ups and downs of the season, you don't really want to admit it to yourself, you know? So as we kind of got towards the end of the season here, I let Chris [Drury] know and [Mike Sullivan] know. Just so they can plan accordingly," he said. "I'm grateful for them. They've helped me out through this process. And let me know games I'm going to start so I can make sure to get the family there and stuff like that."

Quick spent the majority of his NHL career with the Los Angeles Kings, and he won his third career Stanley Cup as a member of the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023 before joining the Rangers that offseason. He's spent the past three seasons as Igor Shesterkin's primary backup, and he racked up 35 of his 410 career wins in New York entering Monday night's game against Florida.

After making his NHL debut with the Kings in the 2008-09 season, it didn't take long for Quick to blossom into one of the best goalies in the game. He earned his first of three All-Star selections in 2012, the same year he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs after earning his first title with Los Angeles. He helped the Kings hoist the Stanley Cup once again in 2014.

At 33-39-9, the Rangers will miss the playoffs, and they will end the year on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
