Kings' Jonathan Quick: Dealing with potentially serious groin injury

Kings general manager Dean Lombardi told reporters Friday that Quick's injury is "in the same area as a 2013 groin injury that kept him out almost two months," Elliott Teaford of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Quick's week-to-week prognosis may have just gotten a lot worse, as this report would seem to indicate he may have suffered a similar injury to the groin ailment that sidelined him for nearly two months in 2013. The Kings will have to rely on Jeff Zatkoff, who signed with LA as a free agent this offseason, for the foreseeable future. In the meantime, Quick's owners can expect an update on his status once a more definitive timeline for his return to action is established.
