Quick suffered a groin injury in the same place he injured it in 2013, last week during the Kings’ season opener against the San Jose Sharks. The 30-year-old slid awkwardly in his crease and labored getting up. He was soon replaced with Jeff Zatkoff. […]

The big rule among hockey prognosticators and forecasters is that you shouldn’t decide on a season-long storyline from a small sample size of games. Well, I’m ditching that mandate and making five claims about the rest of the 2016-17 NHL season based […]
