The 30-year-old American was pulled after the first period during the Kings' opener against the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 12. He appeared to hurt himself while stretching to make a save on Sharks forward Joe Pavelski.

The initial diagnosis by the team was "week-to-week." Quick will not need surgery.
