Quick will get the start Monday as the King's head to Detroit to take on the Red Wings. The 36-year-old veteran will be looking to enter the win column for the first time in 2022-23 and lower his high 3.58 GAA closer to the 2.42 GAA he has averaged throughout his 16-year career.

Husso will get the start Monday against the Los Angeles Kings at home.

Ilya Mikheyev will return to the Canucks lineup Tuesday to make his Vancouver debut after missing their opening two games with a lower-body injury.
