Uniondale, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick suffered a grade-2 groin strain and a timetable for his return to the club is unknown.
Quick was forced to exit in overtime of Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss in Buffalo, and the club sent him back to southern California on Wednesday to have a lower-body injury checked out by team doctors. An MRI exam then revealed the damage.
Kings head coach Darryl Sutter said following a morning practice session that Quick can start rehab immediately. The 27-year-old has posted a 10-5-0 record, 2.35 goals-against average, .905 save percentage and one shutout in 16 games this season.
