New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick announced on Monday that he is retiring at the end of the season, and will make his last NHL start against the Florida Panthers.
The 40 year old was playing on a 1 year, $1.55M contract, and has a 6-16-2 record with the Rangers to go along with a .893 SV% and 3.09 GAA. Originally drafted 72nd overall by LA back in 2005, Quick has split time between the Kings, Golden Knights and Rangers organizations over his 828 game career.
Quick is easily one of the most decorated American goaltenders in NHL history. A 3x All-Star, 2x Jennings trophy winner, Conn Smythe winner and Stanley Cup champion, Quick set the NHL record for highest save percentage in a single playoff season back in 2011-12 when he registered a .946 SV% for LA.
Amongst American born goaltenders, he has the most wins all-time (410), 2nd most games played (828), 3rd best career GAA amongst qualified starters (2.51), 9th best save percentage amongst qualified starters (.910), and the most shutouts (65).
The native of Milford, Connecticut has represented the US internationally at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Games, and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
2025-26 was a down year for the Rangers, who sit in last place in the Metropolitan Division with a 33-38-9 record. Already eliminated from the playoffs, they’ll take on the Florida Panthers who are having an equally disappointing year on Monday night in what will be Quick’s final NHL game.
