Rangers have faith Jonathan Quick can hold down fort with Igor Shesterkin on injured reserve
NY Post
There’s a reason why the Rangers brought in Jonathan Quick in the first place three years ago.
There’s a reason why they gave him consecutive extensions — and raises — in consecutive Marches, too.
The three-time Stanley Cup champion will turn 40 years old in two weeks. The days of Quick vying for that elusive Vezina Trophy have likely passed.
But he embodied the most sound insurance policy the Rangers could ask for in case $92 million goaltender Igor Shesterkin ever missed time.
Quick became the future Hall of Famer tasked with backing up the franchise cornerstone who could one day make a case for a spot in Toronto, too.
Quick didn’t need to step in for Shesterkin much the past two years, with Shesterkin collecting at least 55 starts then logging a league-high 34 this campaign entering Wednesday’s games.
