Quick (knee) should resume skating in approximately 10 days, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately, Quick's name has been synonymous with the injury bug, as he dealt with a groin injury that sidelined him for the better half of the 2016-17 campaign, and the Kings' top netminder has bogged down by lower-body/knee issues to the point where he's only been able to draw into four games so far this season. It's important to note that his latest 10-day timeline is only a speculative measure of when he'll hit practice ice following surgery, as opposed to any kind of target date for his return to game action.

Quick (knee) has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
Quick's addition to injured reserve shouldn't come as a shock to the system following the news Wednesday that he was sidelined indefinitely. The veteran netminder hasn't been between the pipes often this season due to injury, and when he has, the results haven't been promising. Over four starts in 2018-19, Quick owns a 0-3-1 record with a 4.55 GAA and an .845 save percentage. Still, it will be a tough pill to swallow for the Kings, who are now expected to turn to the combination of promising prospect Jack Campbell and veteran Peter Budaj.

Quick (knee) will be sidelined indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus, the team announced Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Quick has already missed a total of seven games due to injury this season and looks to be out long term with this latest knee issue. In his four outings, the netminder is winless with a disastrous 4.55 GAA and .845 save percentage -- both of which would represent career-worst numbers. With Quick out of action, Jack Campbell is slated to serve as the primary goaltender, with Peter Budaj in reserve. While it hasn't officially happened yet, Quick will no doubt be placed on injured reserve shortly.

According to coach John Stevens, Quick (lower body) is a little beyond day-to-day, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Quick falling somewhere between day-to-day and week-to-week, it seems unlikely he will be ready in time for Thursday's clash with the Flyers. In the meantime, Jack Campbell should see the bulk of the work, although the club could decide to utilize veteran Peter Budaj if the youngster struggles.

Quick (lower body) is not listed on injured reserve, according to the NHL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
On Sunday, Quick showed up on the TSN transaction log and designated for IR, but he currently doesn't carry that designation on the NHL's official site or the site that's run by the Kings. Still, there is no timeline for Quick's return from his latest lower-body injury.

Quick (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quick's troubles with lower-body injuries have been well-documented. He had that devastating groin injury in the 2016-17 campaign, and this is already his second stint on IR as the result of a lower-body concern this season. The American netminder will be eligible to return Nov. 1 against the Flyers, but it all depends on whether he'll actually be in good enough shape to make that start. Jack Campbell will be the interim No. 1 starter for the Kings.

Quick suffered a lower-body injury and will not play Sunday against the Rangers, Jay Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Petr Budaj will be recalled ahead of Sunday's puck-drop, and we presume Jack Campbell will man the net for the Kings. Quick is considered day-to-day and will next be evaluated at some point next week.

Quick conceded four goals on 23 shots Tuesday, taking a 4-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
That's now three consecutive games since returning from a lower body injury where Quick has allowed at least four goals, which certainly wasn't what Los Angeles was hoping for when he regained the starting role. Quick's pedigree could give him some leeway as far as holding his job, but the fact remains that backup Jack Campbell played well in much of his absence and the Kings have lost five straight contests. Regardless of what L.A. decides to do, it might be wise to use Quick sparingly until he shows he's back to full strength.

Quick will tend the twin Tuesday versus the Stars, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quick has struggled in two games since returning from a lower-body injury, as he's allowed 10 goals on 54 shots for a .815 save percentage and two losses against the Sabres and Islanders. The veteran netminder has another light matchup against a team averaging just 2.7 goals per game to rank 23rd in the league. If he produces another dud, the team could be looking back to Jack Campbell, who showed exceptional potential to begin the year before regressing to the mean.

Quick stopped 21 of 25 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
His return from a lower-body injury has been anything but a success, as Quick has now coughed up 10 goals on 54 shots in two starts. It's fair to wonder whether he rushed back from the injury in an effort to turn around the Kings' poor start to the season, but the 32-year-old goalie hasn't posted a save percentage below .915 since 2012-13 and he should get back to his usual form soon enough.
