Quick led the Kings out for pregame warmups Saturday, Josh Cooper of The Athletic reports. As a result, he'll draw the road start versus the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Quick reportedly will be countered by ex-King Martin Jones in this divisional showdown. It's been difficult to justify starting the former in fantasy since his team only averages 2.23 goals per game and Team Teal has a plus-11 goal differential compared to LA's egregious minus-28 value. However, one bit of good news for Quick is that power forward Illya Kovalchuk (ankle) is ready to rock in the franchise's 4,000th regular-season game.

Quick stopped 27 of 28 shots Tuesday, shutting down Winnipeg's normally potent attack and earning a 4-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
This is what Quick can do for you and the Kings: steal a game that his team has no business winning. It's what he'll have to do to be useful this year, as Los Angeles just doesn't have the horses to hang with most teams on most nights. When things go well, there are few better goalies than Quick, but know what you're getting into before risking having him in your lineup.

Quick will defend the home net in Tuesday's game versus the Jets, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quick is going through a rough patch with a .895 save percentage and 3.41 GAA over the last five games. The Jets aren't a great palate cleanser, as they've averaged 5.4 goals per game over their last five, winning each outing. Quick is expected to face plenty of action, so he's a high-risk, high-reward option.

Quick will defend the Kings' crease Saturday in Pittsburgh, Curits Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quick's recent injury troubles appear to have caught up to him, as his 3.30 GAA and .892 save percentage are far worse than his 2.30 and .916 career marks. While he draws a Penguins team that's playing its second game in as many nights, Quick will be fighting an uphill battle considering Los Angeles averages a league-low 2.15 goals per game while Pittsburgh comes in ranked eighth with 3.39 goals per contest.

Quick will guard the goal in Thursday's road game against the Blue Jackets, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quick wasn't great in his last start Monday against Detroit, surrendering three goals on 21 shots en route to a 3-1 loss. The American netminder will look to bounce back and pick up his third victory of the campaign in a road matchup with a Columbus club that's averaging 3.53 goals per game at home this season, 10th in the NHL.

Quick stopped 18 of 21 shots in a 3-1 road loss to the Red Wings on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The outcome of this game had more to do with the Wings playing well than Quick struggling. His first goal against took place on a Detroit odd-man rush, the second tally involved Frans Nielsen making good on his own rebound, and the final strike was caused by an egregious own-zone turnover from Kings defenseman Derek Forbort. Quick falls to 2-7-1 with this ill-fated loss, and we can't recommend him as anything more than a No. 2 fantasy option in season-long leagues since the Kings are the worst team in the Pacific Division by a long shot.

Quick will start Monday's game in Detroit, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings' keeper has posted solid numbers, though his record stands at 2-6-1 on the season. Part of the problem is the team in front of Quick, but the 32-year-old is also dealing with the rust associated with missing so much time with a knee injury earlier in the season. The American won his last start, making 30 saves in a victory over the Golden Knights. Monday will be Quick's first game versus the Red Wings this season.

Quick stopped 29 of 30 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder got beaten by the second shot he saw, but Quick slammed the door shut on Vegas after that. It's just his second win in five starts since returning from a knee injury, but his .928 save percentage over that stretch suggests better days could be ahead for Quick.

Quick is listed among the "Players to Watch" section in Dan Greenspan of NHL.com's preview of the Golden Knights at the Kings on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings never disclose their starting goalie in advance, but all signs point to Quick doing the honors in this divisional clash with a Golden Knights club that is 8-2-0 between its past 10 games. Quick is 1-3-0 with a 2.55 GAA and .918 save percentage since returning from a knee injury.

Quick will start Thursday's home stand against the Devils, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning from injury, Quick is 1-2-0 with a 1.69 GAA that includes a shutout performance over the Hurricanes. If the Kings are going to climb out of the bottom of the Pacific Division and avoid missing the playoffs, they will need the American netminder to play lights out the rest of the way.
