New York Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick of Milford, Connecticut made National Hockey League history on Saturday when the Rangers defeated the Arizona Coyotes 8-5 at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona. Quick won his 392nd NHL game all-time, and in the process became the all-time leader in NHL regular season wins by American born goaltenders. Of his 392 NHL wins since the 2007-08 season, 370 have come with the Los Angeles Kings, 17 have come with the New York Rangers and five have been with the Vegas Golden Knights.
