Quick will start against the visiting Sabres on Saturday, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quick is 0-1-1 with a 4.82 GAA and .855 save percentage through two games for the Kings this season. It's such a small sample size because the traditional starter missed five games with a lower-body injury before getting lit up for six goals on 29 shots in his return against the Sharks on Thursday.

Quick permitted six goals on 29 shots to the Islanders in a 7-2 home loss Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Making his return from a lower-body injury, Quick faltered in front of a sold-out crowd, but the Kings had to adjust on the fly due to top two-way forward Anze Kopitar being a late scratch due to illness. Quick still logged 49:10 of crease time this contest before Jack Campbell stepped in and allowed one goal on three shots. The royal club won't have much time to regroup, as it'll go right back to work against the Sabres on Saturday afternoon.

As expected, Quick (lower body) will patrol the crease in Thursday's home matchup with the Islanders, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quick has missed the Kings' last five games due to a lower-body injury, but he returned to a full practice Wednesday, which was the first indication that he may be ready to rock Thursday. The American netminder will look to pick up his first victory of the campaign in a home matchup with an Islanders club that's only averaging 2.40 goals per game this season, 25th in the NHL.

Quick (lower body) was the first goalie off the ice at Thursday's game-day skate, an indication he will get the starting nod against the Islanders, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quick -- who is still listed on injured reserve per the NHL media site -- would be suiting up for the first time since Opening Night against the Sharks. After a five-game stint on the sidelines, the Connecticut native appears set to retake the starting role from Jack Campbell who has deputized in his stead.

Quick (lower body) returned to practice Wednesday, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quick was "back in his crease" during Wednesday's practice which, according to Rosen, indicates he's "very close" to returning to game action. It's safe to assume the American netminder won't be cleared in time for Thursday's matchup with the Islanders, but his return to practice suggests he could be ready to rock as soon as Saturday against Buffalo.

Quick (lower body) is still not skating with the team in practice, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quick was already certain to be out through Monday thanks to an IR designation and the Kings navigating through Quebec and Ontario. But this suggests that he's not very close to returning and Jack Campbell will continue to shoulder the load for the time being. If you've got an IR spot to use, stash Quick and look for some extra help until he returns.

Quick (lower body) is trending toward week-to-week return status, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quick was placed on injured reserve Sunday, so that's his official designation as it pertains to fantasy hockey, but this latest report suggests that his injury is more than a day-to-day concern. Jack Campbell -- who held off the Red Wings with a 36-save outing Sunday -- should continue to be interim starter for the Kings as long as Quick needs additional time to recover, and veteran Peter Budaj would be next in line after him.

EDGE Analysis

Quick's absence was already known for Sunday's home game, and now he'll have to miss at least a week of action to recover. He's eligible to come back Oct. 14, but given that the Kings will be in the midst of the eastern Canadian swing at that point, he's likely to be out until Oct. 18 when the Islanders visit Los Angeles. As for your fantasy roster, backup Jack Campbell could be an attractive streaming option for Oct. 11 at Montreal and Oct. 13 at Ottawa, but you'll want to look elsewhere when the Kings face the high-octane offenses of Winnipeg and Toronto.

Quick (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a trip to the IR, Quick will miss at least the Kings' next five games, including Sunday's contest against Detroit. The soonest he can return is Oct. 18 against the Islanders, but he currently has no official timetable to get back to action.

Quick (lower body) will not play in Sunday's tilt against Detroit, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jack Campbell will draw the start while Peter Budaj was recalled from AHL Ontario to serve as backup. With Quick's health being in question, Campbell and Budaj could split time until he returns.
