Quick, 40, is a three-time Stanley Cup winner (2012, 2014, 2023) with the most wins (410) and shutouts (65) by a USA-born goalie in NHL history.
"I am looking forward to this last one, try to get one more win here," said Quick Monday morning. "When I knew what the decision was going to be, it just felt right. Felt like the right time. I put some thought into it."
"(My teammates) found out from my wife," said Quick. "She's not good at keeping secrets, but there have been talks here and there. They're excited for me."
The former third-round pick in the 2005 NHL Draft made his debut with the Los Angeles Kings during the 2007-2008 season, a franchise he dedicated 16 years of his career to.
Quick would go on to become a two-time Jennings Award winner (best goals against average - 25 games min.) and the 2011-2012 Conn Smythe winner (Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP), the same season he finished runner-up to Hall of Famer Henrik Lundqvist for the Vezina Trophy (best goalie).
At 37, the Kings traded Quick to the Vegas Golden Knights during the 2022-2023 season, where he played in just 10 games (nine starts). He would finish out his career with three years as the Rangers' goalie, where he's posted a .893 save percentage in the past two seasons.
Quick boasts a 410-306-90 record heading into Monday night's game with a .910 save percentage, 2.51 GAA, and 65 career shutouts, which is the most among all active goalies in the NHL. In 828 games, Quick started 807 of them.
He's slated to be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame when he's eligible.
