Kreider (neck) will not play on Sunday; expected to practice Monday, likely return on Tuesday.

Kreider will miss his fourth consecutive game with a neck strain, but he could be back on Tuesday. It is good news that his injury is not going to keep him out much longer, but the Rangers will take on the Lightning without Kreider.

Domingue will start Saturday vs. the Avalanche.

Domingue allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Coyotes’ win over the Flyers on Thursday. It wasn’t pretty, but it was enough for Domingue to get his first win of the season. Domingue’s 4.74 GAA and .857 SV% do not give you a lot of confidence and they shouldn’t. Leave him on your bench or on the waiver wire tonight.

Louis Domingue
Domingue will start Thursday against the Flyers.

Domingue allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Coyotes’ loss in New York on Sunday. Domingue has yet to win in four appearances this season, while posting an ugly 5.03 GAA and .851 SV% so far this season. Tonight he takes on the Flyers, who come in at 3-3-1 while averaging 3.29 goals for per game through their first seven games of the season.

Miller (undisclosed) will play on Wednesday.

Miller missed Tuesday’s practice but was on the ice for the morning skate and will be in the lineup on Wednesday. Miller had one goal and seven shots after being moved into the top-6 because of Chris Kreider’s injury. He makes for a solid daily choice tonight vs. the Bruins.

Kreider (neck) remains day-to-day; not expected to play on Wednesday.

Kreider missed Tuesday’s practice and is not expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday. If Kreider doesn’t play, expect J.T. Miller to remain in the Rangers’ top-6. Monitor Kreider’s status during the morning skate, just to be sure he is not available.

Domingue will start Sunday in New York.

Domingue allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Coyotes’ loss in Brooklyn on Friday. Domingue has struggled since taking over for Mike Smith on Tuesday—he is 0-2-0 with a 6.24 GAA and .836 SV%. He draws another tough matchup tonight against a Rangers team that is 3-2-0 while averaging 3.80 goals per game.

Domingue will start Friday vs. the Islanders.

Domingue was pulled after allowing four goals on 19 shots in the Coyotes’ 5-2 loss to the Canadiens last night. Head coach Dave Tippett said that he pulled Domingue to keep him fresh enough to start again tonight vs. the Islanders. Domingue has had a rough start to the season, having allowed a combined seven goals on just 30 shots (.767 SV%)—that’s also a 11.21 GAA.

Louis Domingue
Domingue will make his first start of the year on Thursday.

Domingue was torched for three goals on 11 shots after replacing an injured Mike Smith in Tuesday’s loss in Ottawa. With Smith sidelined, Domingue will start his first game of the season tonight in Montreal. The Quebec native is 16-21-6 with a 2.80 GAA and .910 SV% in 47 career NHL appearances. Domingue won his only start vs. Montreal last year, stopping 17 of 19 shots.

Quick (groin) will not undergo surgery; expected to miss about three months.

Quick will undergo a non-surgical procedure, but will about three months with a groin injury according to GM Dean Lombardi. The Kings will likely bring a goalie in from another team because Jeff Zatkoff proved he is not the answer in his two starts since Quick got injured.

Jonathan Quick
The Kings put Jonathan Quick (lower-body) on injured reserve on Thursday.

The Kings did not release much information on Quick’s injury, other than to say that it was of the lower-body variety and that he is week-to-week. With Quick sidelined for an unknown amount of time, the Kings will turn to the duo of Jeff Zatkoff and Peter Pudaj. Zatkoff will likely start on Friday after stopping 16 of 17 shots in relief on Wednesday.

Quick (lower-body) could be out long-term.

Quick left Wednesday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. Kings’ General Manager Dean Lombardi said that it “could be a while” before Quick is back on the ice. The American born netminder is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday and more details should be released following the results of that MRI. If Quick is to miss an extended period of time, look for Jeff Zatkoff to take over as the starter and for the Kings to possibly look for outside help.

Quick left Wednesday’s game with a lower-body injury and is not expected to return.

Quick left after the first period and is not expected to return. The Kings’ netminder stopped 14 of 15 shots in the first frame, that included a dustup with Joe Pavelski following the Sharks’ goal. There is no word on when Quick suffered the injury, but expected an update in the next 24 hours.

Quick leads the Kings onto the ice for warmups.

In 2015-16, Quick won 40 games for the first time in his career and ranks second in the NHL with 76 wins over the last two seasons. During that stretch Quick is also seventh in GAA (2.23) and tied for 17th in SV% (.918). He has been extremely consistent from year-to-year and makes for a safe No.1 fantasy option behind one of the league’s best possession teams. Tonight he faces a Sharks team that he was 0-3-0 with a 4.40 GAA and .845 SV% against last season

The Rangers have signed Jimmy Vesey to a two-year, entry-level contract.

He became a free agent last Tuesday and his lengthy process finally ended with him signing with the Rangers. The reigning Hobey Baker award winner is coming off 24 goals and 22 assists (46 points) in 33 games with Harvard.
