Peter Laviolette Making Good On Commitment To Play Jonathan Quick More

Jonathan Quick is expected to get the start for the New York Rangers tonight against the Seattle Kraken.

While Quick has served a limited role to begin the season, he continues to play some outstanding hockey.

Through three starts, the 38-year-old goaltender has recorded a 3-0-0 record, 1.17 goals against average and .964 save percentage.

Quick is coming off of a 37 save shutout against the Detroit Red Wings as he propelled the Rangers to a 4-0 victory.

Peter Laviolette has been on record saying he wants to try and give Quick more starts as the season progresses.

“Being a pro for so many years, he knows how to be ready when he gets thrown into games like in Detroit,” Laviolette said. “When games start to heat up and we have eight games in 14 nights, we are going to need more fixtures in our lineup, including our goaltending.”

Laviolette seems to be making good on his promise.
