Quick will start his first game since November 12 after missing nearly eight weeks with a grade 2 groin strain. Before getting injured he was 10-5-0 with a 2.35 GAA and .905 SV%. He is expected to resume a full workload of starts as he works his way back into shape in the next month leading up to the Sochi Olympics. He will face the Canucks for the second time this season, in the first meeting he stopped 25 of 26 shots in a 5-1 win over November 9.
Because Darryl Sutter does not disclose who his starter is, we will have to wait until pre-game warmups to see who leads the team onto the ice. Quick is believed to be ready to return to game action, but Sutter could choose to give him a few extra days of rest.
Quick has been sidelined with a grade-2 groin strain since November 12 but should be back in the crease in the New Year. Quick's absence has been dealt with nicely with Ben Scrivens and Martin Jones playing extremely well. Since Quick went down the Kings are 15-4-4 which has allowed him to fully heal without any worry.
Quick is still expected to miss at least another week, but putting the gear back on and taking shots is a definite positive for Quick. The Kings are in a great spot, where they will not need to rush him back because of the way Martin Jones and Ben Scrivens are playing right now. Monitor Quick's status as Christmas draws near.
Quick has been out since November 12 and is not expected to return until after Christmas. The move was made so the Kings could activate Jeff Carter without sending anyone down. Ben Scrivens will continue to man the crease until Quick recovers.
Quick will likely be out until Christmas, which means Ben Scrivens will serve as a viable fantasy option for another month. Scrivens is 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .963 SV% with two shutouts since becoming the Kings starter. For those of you who picked Scrivens up, he is a legit high-end number-2 fantasy backstop option with Quick out. This is a tough break for Quick, because this could hurt his chances of making Team U.S.A's Olympic team.
A timetable is a wide range for a grade 2 groin strain, so no firm timetable was announced. Quick will miss an extended period of time, leaving Ben Scrivens as their starter.
Quick has been sent back to Los Angeles and Martin Jones has been recalled from Manchester. Quick will be evaluated in L.A and then a timetable will be released.
If Quick is sent back to L.A he won't be starting tomorrow vs. the Islanders and could miss Friday's game against the Devils as well. We will await an official word from the Kings.
Quick stretched to make a save in the extra-frame and then slid back and hit his leg off of the post. Quick stayed down clearly in pain. Quick had an easy night before getting injured, he allowed two goals on 17 shots. Ben Scrivens replaced Quick in overtime and was not forced to make a save. The game went to a shootout where the Sabres scored two of three shots on Scrivens to win 3-2. There is no word one the nature or severity of Quick’s injury but it had the look of a groin injury. He will be evaluated tomorrow and more details will be released.
Quick stopped 25 of 26 shots vs. Vancouver on Saturday to register his 10th of the season. The Kings' backstop has won five of his last six starts and has a great matchup tonight when LA travels to Buffalo.
Quick stopped all 19 shots to earn his first shutout of the season vs. the Sabres on Thursday. It was an easy shutout for Quick, but it was what he needed after giving up seven goals in his previous two contests. Tonight he will face the Canucks at home, where he is 6-3-0 with a 2.53 GAA and .890 SV%.

Quick was beat up for four goals on 17 shots in a loss to the Predators on Saturday. He has had four days off since his last start, so he and the Kings should be well rested when the Sabres come to town tonight. The Sabres are a great matchup for Quick, making him a must-start.
On Wednesday, Quick gave up three goals on 20 shots but still walked away with the overtime win against the Sharks. The win was his eighth of the season to go along with a 2.56 GAA and .903 SV%. His numbers are still not where his owners would like them, but he should make for a good start tonight vs. Nashville.

While Richard Bachman worked his tail off on one end (47 saves), Quick eased his way to a 2-1 shootout win in the other. He only saw 18 shots in the contest and picked up his seventh win in 11 starts. Quick had a slow start last season, so expect the 2.53 GAA and .907 SV% to improve as the season progresses. Quick draws the tougher of the two matchups as he takes on the Sharks tomorrow.
Quick allowed four goals on 28 shots in an exiting win over the Coyotes on Thursday. He has a great matchup today when he takes on an Oilers team who is coming off a tough loss on Saturday.
Quick allowed three goals on 25 shots in a loss to the Flames on Monday. Despite the loss Quick has looked much sharper in his recent starts, providing his owners with a sense of relaxation after a slow start. He has a solid matchup with the Coyotes tonight.
