Zatkoff allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Kings’ win in Arizona last Thursday. Peter Budaj started on Sunday, but they’ll come back to Zatkoff tonight vs. Carolina. His last game was the best performance of the season for Zatkoff, who lost his three previous starts and tonight he faces a Hurricanes team who lost in Anaheim last night.

Zatkoff (groin) returned to practice on Monday; expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday.

Zatkoff has missed the last nine games with a groin injury, but was back at practice on Monday and said he is 100 percent. Zatkoff may not start on Tuesday with Peter Budaj coming off of a shutout, but it looks like he will return in a backup capacity. Zatkoff has a 4.37 GAA and .839 SV% in three games this season.

Zatkoff is expected to miss one week with a groin injury.

Zatkoff suffered a groin injury during Saturday’s practice and is expected to miss one week. With Zatkoff out, Peter Budaj and Jack Campbell will serve as the Kings’ goaltending duo.

Zatkoff left the morning skate with a lower-body injury and is questionable for Saturday’s game.

The Kings are already without Jonathan Quick and then Zatkoff had to be helped off of the ice with a lower-body injury this afternoon. Look for Peter Budaj to start for the Kings and for Jack Campbell to be recalled to serve as his back if Zatkoff can’t dress.

Zatkoff allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Kings’ loss to Philadelphia in the Kings’ first game since Jonathan Quick got hurt. With Quick out, Zatkoff will continue as their No.1 starter, but remains a low-end No.3 fantasy option at best right now. Tonight he will face a tough Wild team that comes in at 1-1-0 while averaging 3.00 goals per game to start 2016-17.
