Who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the 2011-12 NHL Playoff MVP?

Jonathan Quick won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the 2011–12 NHL playoffs’ Most Valuable Player. The Los Angeles Kings goaltender earned the award after helping the team defeat the New Jersey Devils in six games in the 2012 Stanley Cup Final.

Quick posted a 16–4 playoff record, a 1.41 goals-against average, a .946 save percentage, and three shutouts. His performance was central to the Kings’ first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history.

The award was presented after the Kings won Game 6 of the Final on June 11, 2012. Quick became only the third American-born player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy, following Brian Leetch and Tim Thomas.

The stored answer has the first name misspelled as “Jonathon.” The canonical spelling is “Jonathan Quick,” with an extra “a” after the first “Jon.” He later won two additional Stanley Cups, with Los Angeles in 2014 and Vegas in 2023, but his Conn Smythe win came in 2012.
