The New York Rangers have placed goaltender Jonathan Quick on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury, a decision that raises concerns about their goaltending depth. Quick, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, has had a difficult season while adapting to the Rangers' system after his trade from the Los Angeles Kings last season. With Quick sidelined, the Rangers will rely on their other goaltenders to step up during this crucial period of the NHL season.
The Rangers are currently battling for playoff positioning in the competitive Metropolitan Division, and Quick's absence could be felt both on and off the ice. His experience and veteran presence were expected to be valuable to the team's younger players, particularly in high-pressure situations. The Rangers hope that this injury is not severe and Quick will return to contribute to the team's playoff push.
In the meantime, expect the Rangers to lean heavily on their starting goaltender and any call-ups from the AHL to fill the void left by Quick. With the playoffs just around the corner, the team's management will be watching closely to ensure that they can navigate through this tough stretch without losing momentum in their playoff race.
