The New York Rangers agreed to terms on Sunday on a one-year contract extension with veteran goaltender Jonathan Quick that's worth $1.275 million for the 2024-25 NHL season.

Quick, 38, joined his boyhood team last summer on an $825,000 deal after backing up for the Vegas Golden Knights on their Stanley Cup run. He has thrived as Igor Shesterkin’s backup this season for the first-place Rangers.

The Milford, Connecticut, native is 13-5-2 with a 2.45 goals-against average and .916 save percentage in 21 games (20 starts) with New York. Quick backstopped the Los Angeles Kings to the Cup twice, in 2012 and 2014, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP during the first of those championship seasons.
