New York Rangers' 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings
The New York Rangers secured a convincing 4-1 victory against the Los Angeles Kings, with Mika Zibanejad and Jimmy Vesey leading the way with second-period goals. Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick, facing his former team, made 25 saves and displayed acrobatic prowess, preserving his 8-0-1 record for the season.
Vincent Trocheck's three assists and goals from Jonny Brodzinski and Will Cuylle contributed to the Rangers' bounce-back win after two consecutive losses.
Quick, who played 16 seasons with the Kings, relished the special moment, emphasizing the effort from his teammates in front of him. The Kings suffered their second consecutive road loss after starting with an impressive 11-game winning streak away from home to start the season. Kings forward Phillip Danault broke Quick's shutout bid with a power-play goal, assisted by Adrian Kempe and Anze Kopitar.
Rangers coach Peter Laviolette praised his team's response to the previous loss, highlighting a well-rounded effort against the defensively strong Kings:
“I think it was exactly what we needed to do. They are a good hockey team, real good defensively. We stuck with it and generated chances in the second and third. A really good start-to-finish game."
Zibanejad's power-play goal, Vesey's contribution and Quick's exceptional goaltending added to the Rangers' dominance. The victory marked the sixth time in NHL history that a goaltender, Quick, won his first game against his former team after playing at least 500 contests for the original club.
