If the Rangers are going to make history by coming from seven points back of a playoff spot the first week of January with seven teams to pass in order to qualify for the tournament, then Jonathan Quick is not a bad place to start.
For the three-time Cup winner was superlative in the Blueshirts’ 2-1 victory over the Bruins at the Garden on Thursday in recording the 399th victory over his NHL career that stanched his team’s seemingly unending spiral.
No. 32 becomes the No. 1 for the time being with Igor Shesterkin on injured reserve with an upper-body injury sustained in Florida on Monday. Shesterkin will miss a minimum of another three games, with a pair coming back-to-back this weekend, but Quick had done the No. 1 thing for about 15 years.
He has not forgotten how to do this.
