The New York Rangers finally received a meaningful update on Jonathan Quick, and it came directly from head coach Mike Sullivan.

Quick, who had suffered a lower-body injury on November 22nd against the Utah Mammoth, has been sidelined for nearly two weeks while the Rangers reshuffled their goaltending depth.
However, on Wednesday, Sullivan confirmed the veteran is «back involved with the practice environment,» adding that the staff believes Quick is «making progress.» It is the clearest indication yet that the 38-year-old could return soon.
"He is obviously back involved with the practice environment, and we'll see where that goes moving forward,» Sullivan said. «We feel (Quick) is making progress.»

Quick has been eligible to come off IR, but the Rangers want to avoid rushing him. His numbers before the injury were quite impressive, despite his limited role, as he managed to tally a 1.69 GAA and a .944 save percentage in just six games played.

Jonathan Quick edging closer to returning to the New York Rangers

During the 39-year-old's absence, the Rangers cycled through two call-ups. First came Dylan Garand, who backed up Shesterkin for four games before returning to the Hartford Wolf Pack to maintain "consistent playing time".
Then the Rangers turned to Spencer Martin, whose experience in a true backup role fits the current need more closely. Martin signed a two-year deal with New York on November 12
There is no firm return date, but the tone has shifted. If Quick continues trending upward, the Rangers could soon return to their intended tandem. For a team dealing with injuries across the lineup, getting the veteran back would be a welcome swing of momentum.
