Kings' Quick returns vs. Islanders after 5-game injury absence

Jonathan Quick is back.

The Los Angeles Kings' star netminder returned to the crease Thursday against the New York Islanders after a five-game absence due to a lower-body injury.

Quick had played in just one game so far this season, stopping 30 of 33 shots in an overtime loss to San Jose in the Kings' opener before suffering the injury in practice and subsequently going on IR.

Backup goaltender Jack Campbell performed adequately in Quick's absence, going 2-3-0 with a .922 save percentage and a 2.69 goals-against average.

Quick is coming off a Jennings Trophy-winning season in which he went 33-28-3 with a .921 save percentage, 2.40 goals-against average, and five shutouts.
