Moller out, Quick in

Oscar Moller will not play today, but it seems that barring any unforeseen setbacks, he will play Tuesday against the Islanders. Here’s what Terry Murray said a few minutes ago about Moller…

MURRAY: “He’s ready to go. Physically, he’s been pushing it hard and he’s been doing everything we ask him to do, outside of playing in the games. It just comes down to a coach’s decision right now. It’s not going to be tonight, but we’ve got a couple days here before the next game and we’d sure like to get him in before the end of the road trip.”

Here’s what Moller told the Kings’ website about his status (more notes can be found here)

MOLLER: “I’m feeling pretty good. I’ve been working hard and it’s just up to the coaches (to decide when to re-introduce him to the lineup). They’ve said that they want to be 110 percent sure that I’m healthy. … I feel pretty good right now.”

Also, Jonathan Quick will be back in goal tonight, after his extraordinary effort against Washington. Here’s what Terry Murray said about Quick, particularly about Quick’s third-period effort against the Caps…

MURRAY: “Quick has played very well, although Ersberg is also ready now and he feels good. … That was a very big period for QUick, against one of the top teams in the league. He was out there against the No. 1 goal scorer in the league, and he was able to keep his composure and make the saves. The D-men were jumping in there also, but he still had the concentration to find players on the ice. That was a real good third period, and it’s something he can draw on, in terms of understanding what he can accomplish.”
