Goaltender Jonathan Quick recently played what could be his final game in Los Angeles, facing his former team, the Kings.

Quick, who spent parts of 16 seasons with the Kings, earned two Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe Trophy during his illustrious career there. Fans in Los Angeles, many wearing his old No. 32 jerseys, showed their appreciation for the legendary goalie.
