The Pacific Division All-Stars have lost a key piece between the pipes.

Jonathan Quick won't participate in this weekend's All-Star festivities as he "needs to take care of (a) nagging injury," LA Kings GM Rob Blake told TSN's Pierre LeBrun via text message.

Quick will be forced to sit out a minimum of one game - either in LA's matchup with Calgary on Wednesday night, or upon his return - for late withdrawal from the All-Star Game, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told LeBrun.

The Kings' netminder owns a .921 save percentage and a 2.44 goals-against average this season. However, his save percentage is just .876 over his last seven games, so it's possible the persistent injury is affecting his performance.

With Marc-Andre Fleury now the only remaining goalie left on the Pacific Division roster, someone will be added to replace Quick. Calgary's Mike Smith and Anaheim's John Gibson headline the most deserving candidates.
