Quick likely to start

As I noted on Twitter, Jonathan Quick was the first goalie off the ice. This is an indication that he’s the likely starter against the Phoenix Coyotes tonight at Staples Center.

Tyler Toffoli and Brad Richardson exited the ice at the same time, though because Los Angeles is coming off a win in which it scored five goals and Toffoli was involved in his NHL debut, I’m not projecting any lineup changes for tonight’s game.

Darryl Sutter just addressed the media and spent some time discussing the all-around virtues of Anze Kopitar. I’ll share his quotes shortly.
