A note to pass along: Jonathan Quick has been dealing with an injury, according to a text exchange with Rob Blake. I don’t have any other details on the injury, or how severe it is, but Blake confirmed the ailment, which was first noted by Pierre LeBrun this afternoon.

I don’t speculate on injuries, so I’ll wait until we speak with Blake later this evening to get a better sense of how it affects Quick and the news that he will not be taking part in All-Star Weekend, as first reported by John Shannon.

I’ll have reports on Quick, Derek Forbort and more during tonight’s FOX Sports West broadcast. We’re also scheduled to be joined by John Stevens during tonight’s LA Kings Live pre-game coverage. Coverage of Blake’s media availability will also be posted during the game. Lots more to come…
