Ranking the Los Angeles Kings' best goalies after Jonathan Quick

1. Jonathan Quick (2008-2023)

Jonathan Quick was drafted in the third round of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings and would see his first NHL action in 2008. He would play only three games during that 2007-2008 season before becoming the full-time goalie the following season.

Quick would not only be the best goalie in Kings' history but at times during his 16 years with the team was the best goalie in the entire NHL. He would play in almost 750 regular season games and won 370 of them and has the best save percentage among goalies with 75 or more games played (.911) and the second best goals against average (2.46).

While the regular season stats alone earn him the title as best goalie in franchise history, what he was able to do in the playoffs really sets him apart with 49 career wins and 10 career shutouts in 92 playoff games. He had a save percentage of .921 and a goals against of 2.31 and somehow got better in the playoffs when going against some of the best teams in the league.

Similarly to how Vachon was the best goalie for 30 years, it is a title that Quick will hold for a very long time and unlikely to be dethroned in the near future.
