Quick was the first goalie off the ice at Saturday's practice, indicating he'll likely start Sunday against the Jets, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Analysis:

Since Sunday's game will have an afternoon puck drop, the Kings won't hold a morning skate where the starting goalie would usually be determined, but Saturday's practice should provide a reasonable proxy. After seeing his eight-game winning streak snapped in a tough-luck 1-0 loss to the Senators on Thursday, Quick was rested Friday in favor of backup Martin Jones, who took a loss to the Ducks. With Quick playing at an exceedingly high level at the moment, expect his usage to remain high as the Kings look to jockey for playoff positioning in a tightly contested Western Conference.
