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.

Quick is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

This puts Quick's chances of starting Sunday's game versus the Red Wings in jeopardy. If he can't go, expect Jack Campbell to protect the net with the Kings likely making an emergency recall for a backup goalie.

Quick allowed three goals on 33 shots in a 3-2 overtime defeat against the Sharks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old stopped all 22 shots he saw in the second and third periods, but allowing two early goals and the overtime marker gave him a below average stat line. Quick won his second Jennings Trophy last season with a 2.40 GAA, and that was actually his highest GAA since 2012-13. It wouldn't be surprising to see Quick return his GAA to below 2.30 and post a save percentage around .918 this season.

Quick is listed as the starter on the official game roster for the Kings' home matchup against the Sharks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Quick is 15-11-5 with a 2.52 GAA and .910 save percentage over 33 career appearances against the divisional foe. The Kings' No. 1 backstop wasn't the sharpest in the preseason, though, as he carried a 1-2-0 record, 3.79 GAA and .880 save mark through four games.
