Kings’ Quick hurt in practice, placed on IR

NHL

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick will not start against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday night because of a lower-body injury.

Quick sustained the injury in practice Saturday and is day to day.

Jack Campbell will start against Detroit. Campbell went 2-0-2 with a 2.48 goals-against average and .924 save percentage in four starts for Los Angeles last season.

Quick, the 2012 Conn Smythe winner during the Kings’ first Stanley Cup-winning season and two-time Jennings Trophy winner for fewest goals allowed during the regular season, saved 30 of 33 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose in the season opener on Thursday.

Quick has won at least 33 games in six of 12 seasons in the NHL.
