Kings goalie Jonathan Quick is scheduled to be back in mid-February if all goes well in his recovery, Los Angeles general manager Dean Lombardi said Wednesday.
Phil McConkey Youth Jersey .Lombardi told the Los Angeles Times earlier on Wednesday that Quick would return in March. But when reached by ESPN, Lombardi said he had misspoken to some degree.Nothing has changed. Youre looking at mid-February in all likelihood. That hasnt changed. Best-case scenario is early February, Lombardi told ESPN, though he added a worst-case scenario could push it to late February or early March.Quick suffered a lower-body injury in the season-opening win against the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 12. Lombardi previously told ESPN the injury was something the goalie had first tweaked in the World Cup of Hockey in September.Quick had a nonsurgical procedure on Oct. 19 to address the issue.Veteran backup Peter Budaj has filled in during Quicks absence but Lombardi confirmed the team continues to look at trade options for a goalie.Yeah, were constantly looking at it, Lombardi said. Clearly when you lose your No. 1 goalie, youve got a hole. But the reality is, youve got two issues: first, whats out there [on the trade market]. Two, a lot of our players havent been at the top of their game and were still in it.So we got to focus on that and not allow what happened in Montreal, Lombardi said, referring to last season when Carey Prices injury derailed the Canadiens season.But we have a lot of guys that would freely admit they havent been on the top of their game. And its easy to just point at losing a goalie that may cover up a lot for you. But the reality is, we need to focus on [playing better] as much as looking outside the organization right now.

Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. MADRID -- New Spain coach Julen Lopetegui dropped longtime captain Iker Casillas on Friday for the start of 2018 World Cup qualifying.Casillas has a team-record 167 matches for Spain, although the 35-year-old goalkeeper didnt play a minute of the European Championship because he was David de Geas backup.Lopetegui said Casillas could return to the team, however.Iker is an icon, both past and present, but in this case we decided that our starting goalkeeper will be De Gea, Lopetegui said. But in no case does this close the door for Iker. We will be watching his performance level closely.Since his debut in 2000, Casillas has manned Spains net through its unprecedented run of three major titles, when it won the 2010 World Cup in between the 2008 and 2012 European Championships.Lopetegui was coach of FC Porto when Casillas left Real Madrid after 16 seasons for the Portuguese club in July 2015. Lopetegui was fired midway through the season and was without a job until last month when he replaced Vicente del Bosque, after Spain was eliminated in the round of 16 of Euro 2016.Lopetegui also left veterans Cesc Fabregas, Pedro Rodriguez, and Juanfran Torres off his first list.Strikers Diego Costa and Paco Alcacer both returrn after Del Bosque dropped them for Euro 2016.
