Jonathan Quick Starts Against Former Kings, Likely Final LA Appearance

Jonathan Quick is slated to start for the New York Rangers against his former team, the Los Angeles Kings, on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena, in what is likely his final appearance in Los Angeles before retirement. Coach Mike Sullivan confirmed Quick's 16-year history with the Kings, where he won two Stanley Cups and holds numerous franchise records, influenced the decision. Quick, who turns 40 on Wednesday and recently made his 800th career start, has a 3.13 GAA and .887 SV% in 15 appearances this season. Despite recent struggles (0-4-1, .786 SV% since Jan 5), Sullivan lauded him as an "elite" and "first-ballot Hall of Famer."
