Quick is likely to start Friday vs. the Coyotes.

Quick struggled on opening night, giving up five goals on 32 shots in the Kings’ 5-1 loss to the Sharks. The Kings were dominated all evening and didn’t provide Quick with much assistance. He should be in store for a better evening tonight as he gets set to take on the Coyotes. Quick was 2-0-1 with a 1.62 GAA and .939 SV% in three starts vs. Arizona last season.

Quick had a strong preseason, posting a 1.29 GAA, a .939 SV% and a shutout in the finale.

The Penguins have assigned Derrick Pouliot to Wikes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).

Pouliot was expected to make the Penguins opening roster after having a strong 2014-15 season at both levels. However, he had a bad preseason and the Penguins have elected to have him start 2015-16 in the AHL. He had 24 points (7G / 17A) in 31 games with WBS last season—if he plays like that this year, he will work his way back into the NHL.

The Senators signed Mika Zibanejad to a two-year contract worth $5.3M.

Zibanejad, 22, had the best season of his career in 2014-15. The former 6th overall pick tallied his first ever 20-goal season to go along with 26 assists (46 points) in 80 games for the Senators. It was another step in the right direction for Zibanejad, who will be in the Sens’ top-6 for at least the next two seasons.
