Kings' Jonathan Quick: Exits with lower-body injury

Quick didn't return to the ice with his teammates for the second period of Wednesday's opener against the Sharks due to a lower-body injury and is doubtful to return, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Analysis:

It was a bit of a surprise when Zatkoff slid into the blue paint to begin the second period of the contest, but the reason behind the star netminder's departure has surfaced. More on his status should arise in the coming day, but it's best to consider him day-to-day until something suggests otherwise. Quick's next chance to return between the pipes (assuming he doesn't return Wednesday) would come Friday against the Flyers.
