Goalie Jonathan Quick will get the starting nod in Saturday\u2019s matinee against the playoff-chasing Red Wings.<\/p>\n

In the 3-2 loss to the Canadiens<\/a> on Thursday, the 40-year-old Quick returned from a seven-game absence from an upper-body injury to back up Igor Shesterkin.<\/p>\n

It was his second injury stint of the season.<\/p>\n

The Connecticut native also missed six games due to a lower-body injury from late November into early December, part of which he spent on injured reserve.<\/p>\n

Saturday will be Quick\u2019s first game since March 18<\/a>, when the veteran netminder gave up six goals on 39 shots to the Devils in a 6-3 loss.<\/p>\n

With Quick\u2019s one-year deal set to expire at the end of this season, it\u2019s possible that Saturday\u2019s game is his last start at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

The Rangers only have two more home games after Saturday.<\/p>\n

Over three seasons with the Rangers, Quick has a 34-29-6 record with an .899 save percentage and a 2.97 goals-against average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fri, April 3, 2026 at 11:11 PM UTC An image collage containing 1 images, Image 1 shows New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":539711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5111],"tags":[265,5,2273,2274,151,3328,35,5190,5193,4,36,3358,33],"class_list":["post-539710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-rangers","tag-canadiens","tag-hockey","tag-igor-shesterkin","tag-jonathan-quick","tag-new-jersey-devils","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-rangers","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkrangers","tag-nhl","tag-rangers","tag-red-wings","tag-the-rangers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116344444459176419","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
