Ersberg’s knee injury no longer an issue

Erik Ersberg said he’s ready to play on Thursday if needed, so the Kings won’t need to call up Jonathan Bernier. Jonathan Quick will get the start against Thursday.
“I’m not thinking as much about my knee,” Ersberg said.
Oops! Now we know the injury is to Ersberg’s knee. Not that it was much of a mystery, but we weren’t officially sure whether Ersberg had a knee or ankle injury. The sport has a long history of not divulging much about injuries. Ersberg felt fine in Tuesday’s practice and proclaimed himself ready if need be.
“That was the good thing. Last night, I felt OK,” Ersberg said. “Obviously, it’s going to be a little sore, but I don’t think there are too many players that don’t feel anything … I’m good enough to be on the bench, and I’m good enough to play, too.”
