David Quinn knows all about Keith Kinkaid, the Farmingville native who came on to play goal in relief of starter Alexandar Georgiev in Sunday’s 5-1 loss to the Penguins in Pittsburgh.
"I know him way back to his Union [College] days and coached him in the World Championships [in 2016], so I'm pretty familiar with him,’’ Quinn said Sunday night, after Kinkaid stopped 16 of 18 shots in 42:46 and kept the Rangers in the game for a while against the Penguins. "I've always thought him to be a good goalie.’’
With Igor Shesterkin out with a groin injury, Quinn had a decision to make regarding who should start Sunday’s game.
