Up until five months ago, Jonathan Quick thought he was going to retire with the Kings, the team he played with for 16 seasons and helped deliver two Stanley Cups.
“Last year was a different experience as far as I spent 16 years with Los Angeles and the way it finished up, there was disappointment,” Quick said on a Zoom call Monday afternoon. “Then being moved to Columbus and then finishing up with Vegas. I enjoyed my time in Vegas, especially with the way we were able to finish up the season, winning the Cup and everything that came along with that.
“First and foremost, I want to be able to help this team win games when I’m in net,” Quick said. “The way this past season finished up I kind of found myself in more of that backup role. It’s obviously something different for me, but it’s something I did enjoy.
