‘World-class’ Jonathan Quick provides Rangers with NHL’s best goalie tandem

Igor Shesterkin’s windmill saves have become a signature of the star Russian netminder, but on Saturday night, it was Jonathan Quick who was snatching the puck out of the air in a quick, fluid motion. 

The Ducks had just earned what would be their only power play of the game in the second period of a scoreless game against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden, when the 38-year-old Quick made the save of the night. 

With Quick hugging the right post watching Troy Terry close in on him, the Ducks forward then dished to Mason McTavish in the high slot in the middle of the zone for an instant one-timer. 

Quick sprawled forward, reached out and gloved it down. It drew a resounding round of applause from the Garden crowd, which erupted into a “QUICK-IE” chant to show its appreciation. 

McTavish skated through the blue crease, said something to the Rangers backup goalie and shook his head in disbelief at what was just one spectacular save of Quick’s 32 in the Blueshirts’ 2-1 win over Anaheim. 

“He was great,” Ryan Lindgren said. “We gave up too many chances, but that one in the slot — that glove save [on McTavish] — was something. He was tremendous all night.”
