Jonathan Quick, the goaltender for the New York Rangers, showcased his skills in a game against the Florida Panthers, making an extraordinary save with the backside of his leg to deny Carter Verhaeghe's near-goal. The game featured a goaltender matchup of Bobrovsky for the Panthers against Quick. The Panthers were put on the penalty kill 6:10 into the game, and Rangers' Panarin drew a tripping penalty to give his team a power play advantage. Quick's agility and reflexes were on full display, earning him the nickname 'Scorpion' from fans and media. Coach Laviolette had announced Quick as the starting goalie for the Rangers in this holiday season game, which is part of a schedule that brings popular teams to Florida, capitalizing on the increased number of fans in attendance.

Panarin draws a tripping on FLA's Kevin Stenlund to relieve pressure on #NYR, who will be on the power play when we return.
#FlaPanthers to the penalty kill 6:10 into the game.
I'm still trying to process that Jonathan Quick save.
Jonathan Quick just made a save with the backside of his leg while he was down and out. Almost looked like a surefire goal for Carter Verhaeghe. Insane save.
Quick.... #NYR https://t.co/B9Rx3VfNMi
#NYR Jonathan Quick falls to the ice for initial save and then kicks his leg up to block the second shot. Looked like he just barely got it with his skate. Unreal.
Do what you do best, Jonathan.... #NYR
Jonathan Quick Scorpion Alert
Five minutes into the game and the #NYR have probably spent 3:30 in their own end
Game on!! #TimeToHunt https://t.co/SOJZMzpy9g
For all the #FlaPanthers fans complaining about a lot of #nyr fans in the building — wait until tomorrow when the Canadiens are here. There is a reason the Panthers ask to have these two teams visit over the holidays each and every year.
