The Los Angeles Kings can't catch a break in the crease.
Starting goalie Jeff Zatkoff - who's got the job while Jonathan Quick is out - suffered a groin injury in practice Saturday, head coach Darryl Sutter confirmed.
Darryl, on Zatkoff: "He stopped a shot, and his groin tightened up."

Zatkoff is officially listed as questionable for the Kings' game against the Vancouver Canucks, and it appears Jack Campbell is on his way from the Ontario Reign to likely back up Peter Budaj.
Zatkoff had to be helped off the ice and there's no word on the severity of his injury, Rosen writes.
"There's nothing really you can do about it," Drew Doughty said of the Kings' bad luck in goal. "We just have to battle through it. If (Zatkoff) happens to be out with Quickie too, then we know Buds can play."
The Kings are off to a tough start, winning only one of four games, while the Canucks are a perfect 4-0.
Budaj has the Kings' only win, a 4-3 decision over Dallas in which he stopped 17 shots.
