Zibanejad (upper-body) is questionable to play Tuesday.

Zibanejad suffered an upper-body injury on Sunday and was not on the ice for Monday’s practice. Brett Howden was bumped up into the top-6 and Ryan Strome was on the first power-play unit after Zibanejad got hurt. Look for them to play expanded roles and for Jesper Fast (personal) to replace him in the lineup if Zibanejad can’t play.

Zibanejad is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Zibanejad was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Bruins following a hit from Patrice Bergeron. Head coach David Quinn said that Zibanejad's injury "isn't a concussion" and added that it's just an "upper-body" issue and that he is "day-to-day." It looks like Zibanejad avoided serious injury but he remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lightning.

Quick starts Thursday in St. Louis.

Quick stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Kings win in Winnipeg on Tuesday. After a dreadful start to the season, the Kings gave Quick a few games to reset and he has since won two in a row while stopping 49 of the 52 shots (.942 SV%) that he has faced. Los Angeles is doing a great job of limiting the opposition right now, giving up the second fest shots against per game (28.0) but Quick remains a risky option in St. Louis.

Quick will start Tuesday in Winnipeg.

Quick allowed one goal on 24 shots in the Kings' win over the Flames on Saturday. It was a much-needed win for Quick, who was a disaster in his first three starts of the season. You shouldn't be back all-in on Quick after just one good game but tonight he takes on a Jets team that has lost three of their last four while averaging just 1.25 goals per game.

Trocheck (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Trocheck missed Monday's practice and Tuesday's morning skate, suggesting that he will not be available for tonight's game vs. the Penguins. Head coach Joel Quenneville would not rule Trocheck out, listing him as questionable. The newly signed Brian Boyle will replace Trocheck in the lineup and Noel Acciari may move up to centre the second-line.

Trocheck (undisclosed) is questionable to play Tuesday vs. the Penguins.

Trocheck was absent from Monday's practice and head coach Joel Quenneville is unsure whether his second-line centre will be available on Tuesday. The Panthers recently signed Brian Boyle to a one-year deal and the veteran was skating in Trocheck's spot in Monday's session.

Quick will start Saturday vs. the Flames.

Quick allowed five goals on 36 shots in the Kings loss to the Golden Knights last Sunday. Through three starts, Quick has allowed 19 shots on 92 shots (.793 SV%). When your GAA and SV% are almost the same, you know you’re not playing well. Calgary is t-20th in goal-scoring right now but it’s very difficult to trust Quick in this spot given how poorly he has started the season.
