Jonathan Quick recorded a shutout after making 43 saves in the Kings’ 1-0 shootout victory Thursday over the St. Louis Blues. It turns out he tied Kelly Hrudey for the second-most saves in a shutout in Kings history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, which keeps track of these things. Quick holds the record for the most saves in a Kings shutout with 51 in a 5-0 blanking of the Detroit Red Wings on Dec. 13, 2010. Quick’s victory was his 37th in a shootout, fourth-most among active goalies. He is 37-22 in shootouts and has stopped all but 61 attempts in 209 shots.
