Kings' Jonathan Quick: Will see Ducks in return to action Saturday

Quick (groin) led his team out on the ice for pregame warmups Saturday, indicating that he'll be the afternoon's home starter versus the Ducks, Josh Cooper of Yahoo reports.

Analysis:

Quick finally returns to game action after sustaining his ailment Opening Night on the road against the Sharks. Peter Budaj blew away expectations with Quick sidelined -- he's crafted a 27-20-3 record with seven shutouts and a skinny 2.12 GAA -- but it's largely going to be up to Quick to get the Kings into playoff contention. He'll resume his goaltending duties against a Ducks team ranked 19th in the league in road scoring at 2.45 goals per game, making for a sneaky play given the abrupt return.
