Stick with Quick

The Kings, not surprisingly, will stay with Jonathan Quick in goal Saturday against the Islanders. Quick was named the NHL’s first star for the week ending Sunday, and even though Terry Murray talked recently about the possibility of getting Erik Ersberg into a game, it doesn’t seem that it will happen any time soon, at least while Quick continues to thrive…

MURRAY: “We’re staying with (Quick). That’s the one area that I’m least likely to tamper with, when it gets going the way it is. We’ll let him stay with it.”

Question: With him being a young guy, a rookie, do you have to watch how much he plays, so that he doesn’t get worn down right now?

MURRAY: “That’s something I always keep an eye on. I don’t know him well enough yet to know how he feels about that, but it can take NHL goalies a long time to figure that out for themselves. His game is at a high level right now, and he’s bringing the same thing to practice. He brings a lot of competitiveness and adrenaline to the practices and the games. He does a lot of work in practice and after practice and really digs in. There’s nothing there to make us think his play is slipping because he’s playing too much.”
