Jonathan Quick, who was pulled from Tuesday’s game against the Ducks after allowing three goals on eight shots, will start tonight. It will be his seventh attempt to win his 40th game. Coach Terry Murray said Quick will start one of the Kings’ last two games, at home against Edmonton on Saturday or at Colorado on Sunday. Murray also praised the fourth line of Raitis Ivanans, Brad Richardson and Rich Clune for providing the spark that ignited the team’s comeback for a 5-4 shootout victory Tuesday. The Coyotes, like the Kings, have qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
