Jonathan Quick Set To Start Against Red Wings

Jonathan Quick to Make Season Debut

The Los Angeles Kings will start Jonathan Quick in goal against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night, the team announced on Friday. Quick has not played since injuring his groin in a preseason game against the Anaheim Ducks on September 25. The Kings went 3-2-1 in Quick's absence, with Cal Petersen starting all six games.

Quick Has Been Impressive In Practice

Quick has been practicing with the Kings for the past two weeks and has looked sharp, according to head coach Todd McLellan. “He's been great,” McLellan said. “He's been moving well, he's been tracking the puck well, and he's been making the saves that we need him to make. We're confident that he's ready to go.”

Quick's Return Is A Boost For The Kings

Quick's return is a big boost for the Kings, who are looking to make a playoff push this season. Quick is a two-time Stanley Cup champion and one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. He has a career record of 356-242-73 with a 2.33 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage.

The Kings are currently in fifth place in the Pacific Division with a record of 12-12-4. They are two points behind the fourth-place Edmonton Oilers and three points behind the third-place Calgary Flames.
