Quick will start Game 1.

The Los Angeles Kings went down 2-0 early in their series with the Blues, but they battled back and won four straight to finish St. Louis off in six. Quick has posted slightly better numbers than his round two counterpart Antti Niemi so far. He has a 1.58 GAA vs. Niemi's 1.86 as well as a .944 SV% vs. a .937 SV%. The Kings have the experience of last year's Stanley Cup run, but it won't be easy vs. a good Sharks team.

Quick starts in Game 2.

Aside from one terrible giveaway in overtime that cost the Kings Game 1, Quick played very well. It was a tight-to-the-vest defensive game which is what I expect most of the series to be like. Quick will look to redeem himself in Game 2 and tie the series up heading back to Los Angeles.

The Hurricanes have reassigned center Riley Nash and forward Tim Wallace to the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League (AHL). Both players will rejoin the Checkers as they open their Western Conference Quarterfinals series on Friday at Oklahoma City.

Nash, 23, has posted NHL career highs this season with four goals, five assists (9 points) and 32 games played. With Charlotte he set AHL career highs in assists (24) and points (37), and ranked fourth in assists and fifth in scoring among team skaters.
