    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.
