Quick allowed five goals on 22 shots before being yanked Saturday in Colorado. The Kings did not show up in what ended up being a 7-1 blowout loss. Quick played very well in December but has gone 2-3-1 with an ugly 3.25 GAA and .899 SV% in six starts this month. Today he faces a Blues team that has won four of their last six (4-1-1).
Harpur has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but will replace Mark Borowiecki in the lineup on Saturday. Harpur has just one goal and one assist in 24 games this season.

Trocheck is listed as a game-time decision for Friday’s game but activating him from IR all but confirms that the Panthers’ No.2 centre will be back in the lineup vs. the Maple Leafs. Look for Trocheck to centre a line with Jonathan Huberdeau and Nick Bjugstad in his return.
Trocheck appears ready to return to the Panthers lineup ahead of schedule after suffering a gruesome ankle injury on November 19th. Trocheck had a solid year going before getting hurt, posting 14 points (3G / 11A) in 18 games. Trocheck shot just 6.0 percent over that stretch but is a career 10.8 percent shooter, so he should be capable of adding 10-plus goals in the remaining 37 games.
