The NHL Network has been getting hockey fans ready for this season by ranking the top 50 players in the league.
NHL Network researchers, producers and on-air personalities compiled the list, beginning with players 41-50.
And checking in at No. 46 is LA Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick.
Quick was limited to 17 games last season after injuring his knee in the Kings’ first game. He was 8-5-2 with a 2.26 goals-against average, a .917 save percentage and two shutouts.
In the past four seasons, he hasn’t had a goals-against average higher than 2.26 or a save percentage under .915.
In 2015-16, Quick led the League in starts (68) and went 40-23-5 to finish third in voting for the Vezina Trophy, the third time in five seasons he finished in the top five.
Quick, 31, won at least 35 games in five of six full NHL seasons prior to last season and has consistently been in the top 10 in the League in wins, goals-against average and save percentage.
He won the Jennings Trophy in 2013-14 and helped the Kings win the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014.
Quick won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 2012 when he went 16-4 with a 1.41 GAA, a .946 save percentage and three shutouts.
