Monday update

A few things, after the Kings finished practice today…

— Jonathan Quick will start in goal tomorrow, and Terry Murray is inclined to also have Quick start Wednesday’s game at Colorado. The plan had been to have Quick and Erik Ersberg split the games, but obviously Ersberg is hurt and out until after the all-star break, at least.

— Ersberg’s (still undefined) lower-body injury is not related to his previous groin strain. Ersberg is headed back to Los Angeles today for tests, which (pure speculation here) might suggest a knee issue. No timetable on Ersberg’s return. He suffered the injury during the final round of the shootout Saturday.

— The Kings will go back to six defensemen tomorrow, meaning Kevin Westgarth will make his debut, on a line with Derek Armstrong and Raitis Ivanans.

I’ll have a few quotes on this stuff a bit later…
