Quick has lost three straight games and five of his last six. He has struggled this season but this oddly resembles the Kings from last season... A team that is supposed to be good but struggles, so are they going to back into the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup again? Quick is still one of the NHL's best goalies and will work out of this slump. He is a good start tonight vs. the Oilers.

After Johnathan Bernier started the last two games for the Kings, Quick is back between the pipes tonight. Quick has struggled this year after offseason back surgery. In his last 4 starts he has only won once while posting a 3.23 GAA and .853 SV%.

Quick was outplayed by Pekka Rinne in his last outing. The Predators only managed to throw 14 shots at the net but scored on 3 of them. The Kings had 32 shots but couldn't beat Rinne and lost 3-0. Quick has a fairly tough matchup against a Red Wings team that is good on home-ice.

No reason to expect otherwise after a a couple days of rest on the road in Detroit.
