[citation needed] His team also featured forwards Sean Backman, John Mori and Augie DiMarzo, Joey Sides, Joe DeBello, Chris Davis and Cam Atkinson, all of whom went on to play professional hockey.

In his first NCAA Tournament game, Quick shut-out Clarkson University, stopping all 33 shots he faced, in a 1–0 overtime victory.

[6][7] He began the 2008–09 season with the Los Angeles Kings' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, sharing time with Jonathan Bernier.

[10] On February 9, 2009, he was awarded the First Star of the Week by the NHL after stopping 95 of 100 shots in a three-game road win streak, which launched the Kings back into the 2009 playoff picture.

[citation needed] On April 25, 2012, after the end of the 2011–12 season, Quick was nominated as a Vezina Trophy finalist, along with Henrik Lundqvist and Pekka Rinne, the former of which ultimately won the award.

[12] Quick was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy following the Kings' first Stanley Cup victory over the New Jersey Devils, 6–1, taking the series four games to two.

[15] In November 2012, with the NHL in an ongoing lockout, Quick joined the AHL's Manchester Monarchs to continue rehabilitation from an off-season back surgery.

[18] Following the 2013–14 season, Quick was awarded the William M. Jennings Trophy, which is presented annually "to the goalkeeper(s) having played a minimum of 25 games for the team with the fewest goals scored against it."

Because Ben Scrivens and Martin Jones had not played the required number of games to qualify as co-recipients of the honor, Quick was named the sole winner of the trophy.

On October 23, Quick surpassed Rogie Vachon as the Kings' all-time leader in shutouts by earning his 33rd after a 2–0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

[28] Quick helped the Kings qualify for the 2018 playoffs as the seventh seed in the Western Conference, where they were swept by the Vegas Golden Knights.

[32] One day later, however, Columbus traded Quick to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Michael Hutchinson and a seventh-round pick in 2025.

[33][34] The Golden Knights sought to acquire Quick due to a rash of injuries to other goaltenders in the organization, including the season's original starter Logan Thompson and regular backup Laurent Brossoit.

[36] He won his 375th NHL game on March 21, surpassing John Vanbiesbrouck for the second-most wins by an American goaltender in league history, behind only Ryan Miller.

[37] Quick won five of his first six games in net with the team, and finished the regular season with a 5–2–2 record and .901 save percentage with the Golden Knights.

[35] Vegas finished first in the Western Conference and qualified to the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, but with Brossoit returning and Adin Hill serving as backup, Quick initially watched from the press box.

However, following Brossoit's injury midway through the second round series against the Edmonton Oilers, Quick dressed as backup goaltender behind Hill.

[38] The Golden Knights defeated the Panthers in five games, and Quick hoisted the Stanley Cup for the third time, receiving it from former Kings teammate Alec Martinez.

Having lost the opportunity to spend his entire career with the Los Angeles Kings, and finding out that he enjoyed his backup role while with Vegas, he decided to take the opportunity to sign with the Rangers, the team he had grown up watching as a child in Connecticut and gone on to defeat in the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals, to serve as the backup to New York's starter, Igor Shesterkin.

[55] Ray and Mike's Deli in Hamden named the "Quickwich" sandwich in Quick's honor after his 2012 Stanley Cup victory.
