Quick allowed four goals on 37 shots in the Kings’ loss to Calgary on Thursday. Quick has gone 2-0-1 with a 1.66 GAA and .948 SV% in his first three starts of the season. Tonight he will take on a Sabres team that is struggling to score goals—averaging 2.25 goals for per game.

Quick stopped 24 of 25 shots in the Kings win in San Jose on Saturday. Quick has played very well in his first two starts, kicking the season off at 2-0-0 while stopping 59 of 60 shots (.983 SV%). He will take on a Flames team that is 2-1-0 while averaging 2.67 goals for per game through the first season of the season.

Quick will look to have a better season opener tonight than he did last year. Quick left last year’s game No.1 with a groin injury and ended up missing four and a half months as a result. Upon his return, Quick was 8-5-2 with a 2.26 GAA and .917 SV% and two shutouts. Those are very Quick-like numbers for the veteran who will face the Flyers, who are on the wrong end of a back-to-back after beating the Sharks last night.

Pouliot was the No.8 overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, but has yet to reach his full potential in Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old defenseman split last season between the NHL and AHL, recording 23 points (7G / 16A) in 46 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and no points in 11 games with the Penguins. The rebuilding Canucks can take a chance on the young blueliner, who likely won’t crack the top-6 to open the season.
