from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
Although Quick won’t dwell on his numbers, they deserve attention.
He is the first Kings goalie to record three straight shutouts. The last time any NHL goalie had more than three consecutive shutouts was 2003-04, when Brian Boucher recorded five in a row for Phoenix. The NHL record for the longest scoreless sequence by a goalie is 461:29 by Alec Connell of Ottawa in 1927-28, when forward passing wasn’t permitted in attacking zones.
Quick was last beaten on a power-play goal by Matt Carle at 13:29 of the third period at Philadelphia on Oct. 15, a game the Kings won 1:39 into overtime. He stopped 27 shots in a 5-0 rout of the St. Louis Blues at Staples Center, 28 in a 2-0 victory over the Coyotes at Glendale, Ariz., and 28 by the Stars on Saturday at home, working without a cushion until Jack Johnson scored on a 60-foot slap shot at 15:02 of the third period.
The last two goals Quick has given up — to Carle and to Daniel Briere in the first period at Philadelphia — were produced during power plays. Quick has not yielded an even-strength goal since Patrik Elias bested him at 13:03 of the first period at New Jersey on Oct. 13.
