Rangers pull away to beat Coyotes as Jonathan Quick nets US goalie wins record
NY Post
TEMPE, Ariz. — There was a historic individual accomplishment on the line for the Rangers coming into this game against the Coyotes.
And so the Blueshirts immediately swarmed around Jonathan Quick for a team embrace following a chaotic 8-5 win over Arizona on Saturday at Mullett Arena, which saw the 38-year-old netminder surpass Ryan Miller for the most victories by an American-born goalie in NHL history at 392.
It was no walk in the park against one of the worst teams in the NHL, but the Rangers pulled it together for the sake of one personal achievement.
The only reason it was possible, however, was because of myriad other milestones.
“You do everything you can to not think about it, but it’s there,” said Quick, who made 27 saves in front of a predominantly New York-favored crowd that let the home team know they were there every 10 minutes with Rangers chants.
“It’s kind of a good feeling to get it done and over with. Focus on what’s really important and trying to win the division here and win the conference, right?”
Silent most of the game, Mikal Bridges required just one play to make himself heard.
