EDGE Analysis

If this turns out to be the case, it's been a disastrous start to the 2016-17 campaign for the Kings. More information on the nature of the injury should surface in the coming day, but backup Jeff Zatkoff doesn't come close to measuring up to Quick's standard between the pipes. Los Angeles may also need to recall another netminder should Quick's injury force him to injured reserve.
