Report: Jonathan Quick coming out of retirement ‘a possibility’ to help Rangers goaltending
Daily Faceoff • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Rangers face a goaltending crisis after star goalie Igor Shesterkin was ruled out for the rest of the 2026-27 season due to a lower-body injury, and backup Joonas Korpisalo remains sidelined for another four weeks.
- This leaves rookie Dylan Garand as the only available NHL netminder, prompting discussions about former goalie Jonathan Quick potentially coming out of retirement to provide emergency support.
- Quick, now the Rangers’ director of goaltending development, has expressed willingness to return if necessary, despite being comfortable in retirement.
- The Rangers had a strong start to the season with Shesterkin, winning four of their first five games, but their playoff hopes have dimmed due to the injuries.
- The team also has AHL goalies Callum Tung and Spencer Martin under contract, who could be called up to help amid the shortage in net.
