Jonathan Quick’s shutout streak continues as Rangers stymie Kraken
NY Post
SEATTLE — The Kraken had been rolling in the deep — until they met the Blueshirts Blockade.
Seattle’s four-game win streak to start a nearly two-week homestand was halted by Jonathan Quick and the Rangers, who picked up a 2-0 win Sunday night at Climate Pledge Arena as the 38-year-old netminder was impenetrable in his second straight shutout.
It has been 128:05 since Quick last gave up a goal for the Rangers, dating back to the third period of the Sabres game on Nov. 7.
Denying all 24 shots he faced, Quick improved to 4-0 on the season and now is three wins away from becoming the first U.S.-born goalie to reach 400 wins in NHL history.
“You don’t really put too much thought into it,” said Quick, who pitched back-to-back shutouts for just the second time in his career and the first time in 13 years. “You’re honored to have those numbers. At the end of the day, as a goalie, you’re very dependent on your team in front of you. All those numbers really mean is I’ve played with some great players and teams that value winning more than anything. I consider myself very grateful and lucky to have played with all those guys over the course of my career.”
The last time Quick recorded multiple shutouts was a three-game stretch from Oct. 18-22 in 2011 with the Kings, when he was 25.
