Rangers' Jonathan Quick Shuts Out Oilers in 3-0 Win

Backup goalie Jonathan Quick steps up with first shutout performance as a Ranger, contributing to the team's win streak and proving doubters wrong after a shaky preseason.

Jonathan Quick, the Rangers' backup goalie, delivered a stellar performance against the Edmonton Oilers, achieving a 29-save shutout - the first in his tenure with the Rangers, and the 59th of his career.
Quick's career stats against the Oilers, a 24-11-6 record with a 2.18 goals-against average, influenced the decision to have him play instead of first-choice goalie Igor Shesterkin. Despite a rough preseason, Quick currently has a .982 save percentage for the season.
The Oilers were at a disadvantage as they lacked their star player, Connor McDavid, but nonetheless challenged Quick with difficult saves. Regardless, Quick prioritized the team's win above his personal performance.
The Rangers, currently on a winning streak, owe their success to strong defense and widespread offensive contributions, not just to Quick alone. Adam Fox and Braden Schneider each had a goal and an assist during the match, while Alexis Lafrenière extended his scoring streak to three games.
The Rangers will next face the Vancouver Canucks, looking to preserve their 3-0 winning streak on the road trip.
