The New York Rangers signed backup goalie Jonathan Quick to a one-year extension for his age-40 season. According to sources, the AAV is $1.55 million and includes performance bonuses.
Quick is in his second with the Rangers and has a 27-12-4 record, .904 save percentage, 2.83 goals-against average in New York plus five shutouts — including three shutouts this season.
Quick is a three-time Stanley Cup champion: twice with Los Angeles (including winning the Conn Smythe in 2012) and once in Las Vegas in 2023.
This season he became the 15th goalie in NHL history — and first U.S. born goaltender — to reach 400 career wins.
This is the third straight one-year deal Quick has signed with the Rangers to be Igor Shesterkin’s backup. He joined the team on deal for less than $1 million during free agency in 2023 and then re-signed for $1.25 million this season.
In December, the 29-year-old Shesterkin signed an eight year, $92 million extension that keeps him under contract through 2033.
The Rangers believe Quick has been a crucial role model in the locker room, especially to younger players.
