Quick exits practice after high shot, but Sutter’s not concerned (Updated)

LOS ANGELES -- There was an anxious moment when Jonathan Quick took a high shot during Tuesday’s practice... well, anxious for everybody but Kings head coach Darryl Sutter.

“Jonathan’s a tough guy,” Sutter said during his Stanley Cup Final media availability, shortly after practice wrapped. “He’s probably the first guy out of the room.”

Sutter also shook his head (in the “no” manner) when asked if there was any concern about Quick’s status moving forward.

Quick, the 2012 Conn Smythe winner as playoff MVP, stopped a shot in the shoulder and/or collarbone at the end of practice and appeared to be in some discomfort. He skated towards then boards, then hunched over by the Kings’ bench for a few minutes before exiting the ice for good.

The 28-year-old netminder can ill-afford to go into this upcoming series with the Rangers at anything less than 100 percent. Quick had a less-than-stellar against Chicago in the Western Conference Final, allowing 23 goals over the seven game series while finishing with an .889 save percentage.

Update: Quick took part in the media availability session and shrugged off the incident, joking that the puck hit him somewhere between the shoulders and knees.
