You may remember, in the Flyers’ season-opening win over the Los Angeles Kings, longtime Kings netminder Jonathan Quick wasn’t in net that night. That was because in the Kings’ own season opener, he suffered an injury that we’ve since learned will sideline him for a few months. This is obviously bad news for the Kings, who have leaned on Quick a lot over the past several seasons. (Quick’s primary backup, Jeff Zatkoff, is also now hurt.)
So it’s not surprising to hear, as Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported earlier today in his 30 Thoughts piece, that the Kings have poked around a bit trying to find a suitable replacement for him.
