Quick makes 32 saves, Rangers blank Penguins

Quick is the 20th goalie in League history, and second active with Minnesota Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury (73), to reach 60 shutouts. The 37-year-old has two in six starts this season, matching or passing his total from each of the past five seasons.

Alexis Lafrenière scored for the Rangers (13-3-1), who lost 6-3 to the Dallas Stars on Monday following four straight wins.

Tristan Jarry made 35 saves for the Penguins (9-9-0), who have lost three of four.

Lafreniere put New York ahead 1-0 at 5:10 of the first period, his eighth goal of the season and fourth in five games. After intercepting a pass from Ryan Graves in the neutral zone, Mika Zibanejad sent Lafreniere on a breakaway for a backhand over Jarry’s glove.

Alex Nylander seemed to tie it two seconds after a power play expired at 15:30, tipping a shot from Vinnie Hinostroza, but it was disallowed after Nylander was ruled to be offside during a Rangers challenge.

Jake Guentzel also came close to a tying goal at 5:24 of the second when his wrist shot trickled through Quick’s five-hole before Erik Gustafsson cleared.

Jacob Trouba could have doubled the Rangers lead at 11:30 on a rebound off a shot from Artemi Panarin but could not get a wrist shot past Jarry’s outstretched right pad.

Sidney Crosby nearly scored for the Penguins 39 seconds into the third, taking a pass from Guentzel for a wrist shot that was denied by Quick, sliding across the crease for a pad save at the left post.

Pittsburgh failed to score on five power plays, including three in the third.
