Kings' Jeff Zatkoff: Gets shelled in loss Tuesday

Zatkoff surrendered five goals on 16 shots Tuesday night in a 6-3 loss to the Wild. He was replaced by Peter Budaj after the second period.

Analysis:

Kings coach Darryl Sutter gave Zatkoff plenty of leash in this contest, but he simply didn't have the mojo necessary to stop a relentless Minnesota attack. The 29-year-old has been pressed into the starting role with Jonathan Quick (groin) expected to miss 3-to-4 months. It's been a rough start to the 2016-17 campaign for Zatkoff, as he is winless through three games.
