LOS ANGELES – The 2012 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings
have agreed to terms with goaltender Jonathan Quick on a 10-year
contract extension, Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi
announced today. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the new deal cannot
be signed until July 1.
Quick, in addition to being a Stanley Cup Champion, is also
a Conn Smythe winner, Vezina Trophy Finalist, NHL All-Star and Kings MVP who
will call Los Angeles
home through the 2022-23 season.
Quick had a record-setting year in 2011-12 for the Kings and
ranked amongst the NHL’s best in every major goaltending category. He was
even better during the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs as he led the Kings to their
first-ever Stanley Cup championship.
In 20 postseason games Quick compiled 16 wins while leading
all playoff goaltenders with a 1.41 goals-against average (third best all-time
for goalies with at least 10 games played) and a .946 save percentage (tied for
third best all-time for goalies with at least 10 games played). He also
tied for first with three postseason shutouts.
Quick’s regular season NHL rankings were the following:
first in shutouts (10), second in goals-against average (1.95), tied for fifth
in wins (35), tied for fifth in save percentage (.929) and fourth in games
played (69).
Quick, who was selected as the Kings MVP (Bill Libby
Memorial Award), Best Defensive Player and Most Inspirational Player (Ace
Bailey Memorial Award), set franchise single-season records in the following
categories: shutouts (10), save percentage (.929) and goals-against average
(1.95). Quick also set a club record with three straight shutouts (Oct.
18-22) and a consecutive scoreless streak of 202:11 (third period Oct. 15
through first period Oct. 27, stopping 92 straight shots). He’s the first
Kings goalie to win 30-plus games three straight seasons and the second to win
20-plus games four straight seasons.
The All-Star netminder allowed two-or-fewer goals 46 times
during the regular season (31-8-7 in those games) and allowed one goal or shut
out the opposition 27 times (18-5-4 in those games). Quick, who played
for Team Alfredsson at his first All-Star game Jan. 29 in Ottawa, was named an NHL Star of the Week
three times during the regular season.
In 249 career NHL regular season games (all with the Kings)
Quick is 131-87-25 with a 2.30 GAA, .916 save percentage and 24 shutouts.
Among the Kings all-time franchise leaders Quick’s rankings
are the following: third in wins (131), first in GAA (2.30), first in save
percentage (.916), second in shutouts (24) and third in appearances (249).
The 26-year-old from Milford,
Conn. was originally selected by
the Kings in the third round (72nd overall) in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
