The New York Rangers announced a one-year contract extension for veteran veteran goaltender Jonathan Quick on Sunday.

Quick's new pact will pay him $1.275 million for the 2024-25 season, according to The Athletic's Chris Johnston.

New York signed the 38-year-old to a one-year deal last July, and he's been a rock behind Igor Shesterkin, posting a 13-5-2 record with a .916 save percentage this season.

Quick spent the first 16 years of his career with the Los Angeles Kings, winning two Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe while earning two Vezina Trophy nominations.

He finished last season with the Vegas Golden Knights but didn't make any playoff appearances as the club marched to a championship.

Newly acquired Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin suffered a head injury Satruday after taking a hard hit from New York Rangers enforcer Matt Rempe, head coach Sheldon Keefe said postgame.

The hit occurred toward the end of the second period in the Leafs' 4-3 shootout win. Lyubushkin didn't return to the game.

Keefe wasn't overly pleased with the hit.

"Comes a long way, leaves his feet, hits him in the head, injury," the Leafs coach said, shrugging his shoulders.

As many expected pregame, Rempe dropped the gloves with Leafs heavyweight Ryan Reaves later in the contest.

The 6-foot-7, 241-pound Rempe has quickly made a name for himself in his brief NHL tenure. The scrap against Reaves was already his fourth fight in his seven-game NHL career. The 21-year-old has racked up 37 penalty minutes in that time.

Lyubushkin was making his first appearance since reuniting with the Leafs via trade from the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday. The 29-year-old defenseman played 31 regular-season games and seven more playoff contests with Toronto in 2021-22.

The Maple Leafs are already without Mark Giordano on the back end, who suffered a head injury Thursday. William Lagesson will likely be the next man up if Lyubushkin is forced to miss extended time.

Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas has his sights set on the return package he's seeking for Jake Guentzel, should he trade the star winger ahead of the March 8 deadline.

The Penguins prefer prospects over draft picks in exchange for Guentzel, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Prospects could theoretically make an impact sooner than draft picks and thus have a better chance of providing help for Sidney Crosby and the rest of Pittsburgh's aging core before they're gone.

Guentzel is arguably the most coveted rental player available ahead of the deadline. He entered Saturday with 52 points in 50 games this season. The 29-year-old also boasts a sterling playoff resume with 34 goals and 24 assists in 58 career postseason contests. He was part of the Penguins' last Stanley Cup triumph in 2017.

Pittsburgh hired Dubas as GM in June. The Penguins hoped to compete this season after landing reigning Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson in the offseason, but they're on track to miss the playoffs for the second straight campaign.

Noah Hanifin, the top defender available at the trade deadline, isn't looking to move twice in 2024.

The Calgary Flames and Hanifin are focused on dealing the 27-year-old to a team he'd be willing to sign a long-term extension with ahead of the March 8 trade deadline, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Saturday's edition of "Hockey Night in Canada."

The Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Florida Panthers have reportedly shown interest in acquiring Hanifin.

The Lightning are believed to be Hanifin's No. 1 choice, Friedman added.

Hanifin has tallied 11 goals and 34 points in 59 games this season while playing a career-high 23:44 per contest. He carries a $4.95-million cap hit and is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Tampa Bay is without rearguard Mikhail Sergachev after he sustained a broken tibia and fibula in February. The Lightning have $7.4 million in space with Sergachev's $8.5-million cap hit on long-term injured reserve.

Looking past this season, Tampa Bay will have just over $10.5 million of cap room this summer, per CapFriendly. Captain Steven Stamkos is the team's top pending free agent.

The Bruins have a minuscule $57,500 of cap space available. Boston is without defenseman Hampus Lindholm, but the defender is expected back before the playoffs, meaning his $6.5-million cap hit won't make room for a potential Hanifin acquisition.

But the Bruins will have a significant amount of room following this campaign, with $26 million in projected cap space this summer, according to CapFriendly. Boston's notable pending free agents include Jake DeBrusk, Matt Grzelcyk, and restricted free agent Jeremy Swayman.

The Panthers are the most intriguing team among those linked to Hanifin, as Florida can afford the blue-liner this season and has maneuverability in the offseason. The team has over $5 million in space at the deadline but is also expected to have a whopping $28 million in cap room this summer, per CapFriendly.

However, Florida has several pending free agents, including Sam Reinhart, Brandon Montour, and Gustav Forsling.

The Florida Panthers are making a push for Calgary Flames defenseman Noah Hanifin, sources told ESPN's Kevin Weekes.

The Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning - fellow Atlantic Division foes - are also reportedly interested in the pending unrestricted free-agent blue-liner.

Hanifin has 11 goals and 23 assists in 59 games with the Flames this season while averaging 23:44 per contest. The 6-foot-3, 207-pounder combines ideal size with a smooth skating stride. His underlying numbers over the last three campaigns are stellar.

In Florida, Hanifin could round out a top-four defense core already featuring Aaron Ekblad, Gustav Forsling, and Brandon Montour, pushing Niko Mikkola down to a more fitting role on the third pair.

The Panthers would have the long-term cap space to keep the 27-year-old Hanifin beyond 2023-24. Forsling, Montour, and leading goal-scorer Sam Reinhart are all pending UFAs. Ekblad comes off the books in 2025.

But a lack of trade assets could be an issue for the Panthers. They don't have a first-round pick until 2026 or own their second-rounder this year. Florida's farm system isn't considered overly strong, either.

The Panthers and Flames are no strangers to blockbuster trades, having completed the Matthew Tkachuk swap in 2022. Current Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving was running the Flames then, but Calgary's replacement, Craig Conroy, was part of the front office as an assistant GM.

The Flames have already shipped off pending UFAs Elias Lindholm, Chris Tanev, and Nikita Zadorov. However, Hanifin could yield their biggest return, especially if they find a suitor that inks him to an extension as part of a trade.

The Carolina Hurricanes drafted Hanifin fifth overall in 2015 before trading him to the Flames in 2018.
