KINGS SUFFER QUICK INJURY BLOW
Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on a torn meniscus in his knee, the club announced Wednesday. Quick has appeared in just four games this season for the Kings, going 0-3-1 with a 4.55 goals-against average. He missed five games with a lower body injury after playing in Los Angeles’ season opener, but has allowed 14 goals in three games since returning. He didn’t play in the Kings’ two most recent games while nursing a different lower body injury. Coach John Stevens had said he didn’t think the current problem would sideline Quick for a lengthy amount of time. Jack Campbell has been the Kings’ primary goalie during Quick’s absences this season, going 3-4-0 with a 2.72 GAA and a .912 save percentage. The 26-year-old former first-round pick had just two games of NHL experience before this season.
