Back to Quick?

We’ll probably find out tomorrow who Terry Murray intends to put in goal Thursday against Detroit. Erik Ersberg got pulled early in the second period last night, after he allowed three goals on seven shots. The final goal, by Vincent Lecavalier, caused Murray to turn to Jonathan Quick, who then stopped all 15 shots he faced. Here’s what Murray said about the decision to pull Ersberg…

MURRAY: “The 4-on-4 goal, I just didn’t like that one. It’s a short-side goal. (Lecavalier) is a great player and great players make those plays, but is has to be anticipated and we needed a save on that goal. That was really a tough one. In this particular case, it’s probably more a reflection on Erik’s play, more than the overall team play. That was a big goal. At that point, the shots were something like 9-7, so it wasn’t like either team was dominating the game.”
