LOS ANGELES — On June 20, Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick added to his list of post-season honors when he was named to the National Hockey League’s Second All-Star Team.

Quick, who was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL’s best goaltender during the regular season, lost out to New York Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist.

As expected, Lundqvist ran away with the voting, earning 17 votes, while Quick garnered just six.

Voting for the First and Second All-Star Teams was conducted among representatives of the Professional Hockey Writers Association at the end of the regular season. Lundqvist was named to the First All-Star Team.

Quick is the first Kings player to earn First or Second All-Star Team honors since defenseman Drew Doughty was voted to the NHL’s Second All-Star Team in 2010.

The Kings also announced that they have made qualifying offers to seven players, retaining their rights:

Justin Azevedo – C

Andrew Campbell – D

Thomas Hickey – D

Dwight King – LW

Stefan Legein – RW

David Meckler – LW

Jake Muzzin – D

The Kings did not make a qualifying offer to left wing Ray Kaunisto, who will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
