Quick (undisclosed) is being considered as day-to-day by head coach John Stevens, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports, and practiced with the team Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It appears Quick will now return sooner than later, and can be activated from injured reserve as soon as Thursday against Nashville. The nagging ailment was clearly slowing the 32-year-old down, as he posted a 3.45 GAA and .880 save percentage in his last five games, so hopefully Quick returns to his usual All-Star form at full health.

Quick (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Quick was expected to face a one-game suspension for sitting out the NHL All-Star Game, but it appears he is dealing with a more serious ailment. The Kings used a retroactive designation for the netminder, which will allow them to activate him as early as Feb. 1 against Nashville. Darcy Kuemper figures to see the bulk of the starts in Quick's absence.

Quick (suspension) has been dealing with a nagging injury, hence why he backed out of the All-Star Game.

EDGE Analysis

Quick was healthy enough to dress as the backup for Wednesday's road match against the Flames, but chose to bypass the All-Star Game and its strenuous 3-on-3 format. The one-game suspension that he'll serve for missing out on the All-Star Game could end up as a blessing in disguise, as it'll afford Quick eight straight days of rest before the Kings' first contest in February.

Quick is expected to dress as the backup goalie against the Flames on Wednesday, though he'll subsequently serve a suspension for declining to participate in the All-Star game, which would rule him out for Tuesday's road clash against the Stars, John Shannon of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quick has been voted into the All-Star Game three times now (2012, 2016 were the other years), but after experiencing an injury-riddled 2016-17 campaign, it seems like the Kings' No. 1 goalie is playing it smart by not risking another ailment in the fan-fueled affair. He's jumped out to a 20-17-2 record, 2.44 GAA and .921 save percentage through 39 games, but the Kings are slipping in the standings, having accumulated only three wins in the last 10.

Quick gave up five goals on 19 shots before getting the hook in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Quick has been relied upon a ton of late, with this being his fourth start since last Thursday. That heavy workload finally caught up to Quick here, as he allowed five goals for the first time since Dec. 12 before getting pulled in the second period. He's lost five of his past six starts, so Quick's value is currently at its lowest point of the season.

Quick will get Tuesday's road start against the Canucks, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quick halted his five-game losing streak Sunday against the Rangers when he steered away 21 of 23 shots. The veteran backstop didn't play great in the previous slump, but his offensive support was lackluster as well, scoring just 10 goals in that span. Quick will look to continue his upward trajectory while keeping the Canucks, who have scored just two goals in two games, down.

Quick ended his personal five-game losing streak Sunday against the Rangers, stopping 21 of 23 shots in a 4-2 victory.

EDGE Analysis

Quick is finally back in the win column after a rough stretch in which he gave up at least three goals in six of his eight starts. He was excellent in a loss to Anaheim on Friday, so it's nice to see him rewarded for his efforts. Quick advances to 20-16-2 on the season with a .924 save percentage. We knew he'd get back on track sooner than later, so look for this victory to set him back on the right path. He's too good to not be owned in all fantasy settings.

Quick will get the nod Sunday against the Rangers, Steve Zipay of Newsday of reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran has struggled in his last five outings, losing every contest and posting a 3.27 GAA and .889 save percentage during the span. Regardless, Quick still sports a .924 save percentage on the season, and with the Rangers on their heels after they only posted one goal in a contest against Colorado on Saturday, the 32-year-old will look to snap his losing streak at home.

Quick saved 29 of 31 shots during Friday's 2-1 loss to Anaheim on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Quick played against Pittsburgh on Thursday, this checks out as an even more impressive showing. However, it's definitely worth reminding that the American has now lost five consecutive games with an underwhelming .888 save percentage. Fantasy owners probably shouldn't overreact to his recent struggles, but if the trend continues, it will be a huge blow to Quick's value over the final months of the season. Additionally, when taking a critical look at the Los Angeles roster, it's not out of the question to suggest the Kings overachieved to start the year.

Quick led the Kings out to the ice for pregame warmups Friday night, Eric Stephens of The Orange County Register reports. This means he's shaping up to face the Ducks on the road to complete a back-to-back set of games.

EDGE Analysis

Wow. Kings coach John Stevens has thrown a curveball in the direction of fantasy players by electing to stick with Quick, even though the American backstop suffered a 3-1 loss to the Penguins on Thursday night, and has just one win in five starts this early in 2018. He'll reportedly be countered by John Gibson for what promises to be an intense battle between the rival clubs.
