Jonathan Quick sure didn't sound as if he spent the weekend watching the All-Star game with a bag of popcorn. The showcase event is torturous for goaltenders, and Quick didn't wonder about what he missed.
"Obviously with 30 games left, that's more important playing in the games this past weekend," Quick said. "I'm focused on that."
Kings coach John Stevens elaborated more, saying Quick received "lots of rehab" over the break and should be back in a "really healthy position" going into the second half. The Kings placed Quick on injured reserve, but it was for roster considerations as Michael Amadio, Jonny Brodzinski, Paul LaDue and Jack Campbell were recalled.
