Former longtime Los Angeles Kings starting goalie and New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick announced on April 13 that this will be his final season in the NHL. Tonight's game for the Rangers vs. the Florida Panthers early this week on Monday will be his last game in the league in the NHL this regular season.

At 40 years old, Quick has played nearly 20 seasons in the NHL in this past couple of decades (since the 2007-08 season). He will make his 808th start and 829th career appearance in the NHL this regular season for the Rangers tonight.
Quick told reporters on Monday that tonight against the Panthers from Florida will be the final game of his career in the NHL, and he will retire after this season in the league.

In this past couple of decades in the league in the NHL, Quick has amassed over 400 career wins and 65 career shutouts. Quick leads all American-born goalies in the NHL all-time in career wins and shutouts in the regular season.
Quick was amazing for the Kings in goal for over a decade in his career in Los Angeles in this past couple of decades. He played 16 seasons for the Kings (from 2007-2023), where he registered a career record of 370-275-82, a .911 save percentage, 2.46 goals against average, and 57 shutouts.
In the late 2000s and 2010s decades in the league, Quick became one of the most consistent, clutch, and high-performing goalies in this generation of netminders in the NHL. He was a two-time All-Star selection and a two-time William M. Jennings award winner for the Kings in his 16 seasons in net with the franchise in the 2000s and 2010s decades in the league.
I would be remiss if I didn't talk about Quick's heroic and enormous play in the postseason in the playoffs for the Kings in the 2010s decade. Quick helped led the Kings to two Stanley Cups (2012 and 2014 seasons), while posting over 40 postseason wins for the organization, a .922 save percentage, and double-digit shutouts. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy with the Kings in the 2012 postseason, thanks to posting a sparkling .946 save percentage and 1.41 goals against average.
Quick will be remembered for his illustrious and memory-filled career in the league with the Kings for about a decade and a half for the organization in the NHL, going into his retirement, where we congratulate him.
