Quick named NHL’s `first star’

Kings goalie Jonathan Quick was named the NHL’s “first star” for the week that ended yesterday. Ottawa’s Jason Spezza and Washington’s Tomas Vokoun were the second and third stars, respectively.

Quick became the first goalie in Kings history to record three consecutive shutouts and now holds the franchise’s longest streak of consecutive shutout minutes, at 188:10. Quick has also reached 101 career NHL victories. Spezza recorded three goals and four assists in three games last week, while Vokoun went 3-0 with one shutout and allowed a total of three goals in three games.

The Kings are scheduled to be on the ice for practice at 10:30 a.m. today.
