Quick finished the 2018 season with a SV% above .920 for the first time since 2012 and helped the Kings post the league’s best GAA in the NHL this year. Unsurprisingly, Quick was a much better goalie on home-ice and could struggle in what figures to be a madhouse in Vegas in Game 1. He didn’t face the Golden Knights this season, so this will be his first look at the Pacific Division’s top team.

Soucy spent the majority of the 2017-18 season in the AHL, where he amassed 15 points (1G / 14A) in 67 games, but he also appeared in three games with Minnesota. With Ryan Suter definitely out to start the playoffs and Jared Spurgeon a big question mark, Soucy has been recalled and is expected to open the playoffs on the Wild’s second pairings.

Quick allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Kings loss in Anaheim on Friday. Quick has won three of his last five while posting a 1.76 GAA, .936 SV% and one shutout. Quick has been great vs. Colorado this season, going 2-0-0 with a 0.99 GAA and .968 SV% in the first two meetings.

Soucy, 23, was a fifth round pick in 2013 and has picked up 15 points (1G / 14A) in 67 games in his first full pro season in Iowa. Soucy has been recalled because Ryan Suter is out indefinitely with a fractured fibula.

Quick allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Kings loss to the Devils on Saturday. Quick has gone 4-3-0 with a 2.27 GAA and .923 SV% in seven starts this month. The veteran netminder allowed two goals on 21 shots in a 5-2 win in his first start against Minnesota.

It looks like the Panthers have caught a break and Trocheck should be in the lineup tomorrow. This isn’t overly surprising considering he was able to play through a suspected ailment on Monday. Trocheck will head into Thursday’s game on a four-game point streak, picking up two goals and five assists (seven points) during that stretch.

Trocheck seemed to be in some discomfort at the tail-end of the Panthers’ loss to the Senators on Monday. However, he was able to finish the game, collecting two assists in 20:15 TOI. The Panthers’ second-line centre continues his great season, having posted 26 goals and 38 assist (64 points) in 67 games. His absence from Wednesday’s practice clouds his status for Thursday’s game, but check in on him during tomorrow’s morning skate to see exactly what’s up.

Quick was pulled after he allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Kings loss to the Blues on Saturday. Quick has won three of his last five starts while posting a 2.78 GAA and .913 SV% and draws a nice matchup tonight with the Canucks in town on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
