Rangers at Kings preview

RANGERS (3-6-1) at KINGS (2-7-1)
3:30 p.m. ET; FS-W, MSG, NHL.TV

Quick has a lower-body injury, the Kings said Saturday, and there is no timetable for his return. The injury is not believed to be related to the lower-body injury Quick sustained in practice Oct. 6 that led to him missing five games.
Jack Campbell will start against the Rangers.
Brown, a forward, broke a finger during Los Angeles' preseason finale Sept. 29.
The Kings have been outscored 29-8 during the streak and have lost all six games in regulation. A loss would give them their longest losing streak since they dropped eight in a row (0-8-0) from Dec. 12-26, 2007.
The Rangers opened a four-game road trip with a 4-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday. New York is 0-3-1 on the road this season.

Players to watch

Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist has allowed at least two goals in each of his eight starts (2-5-1). He gave up three goals on 36 shots against the Blackhawks in his third straight loss (0-2-1), and has a 2.61 goals-against average and .920 save percentage.
Kings forward Dustin Brown had 61 points (28 goals, 33 assists) last season, setting NHL career highs in points, assists and rating (plus-31).

"We're getting good looks. They're just not going in at the moment. Hopefully sooner than later." -- Rangers center Kevin Hayes on New York, which has scored four goals in its past three games
"I've never been out for an extended period. It's harder when you're not out there with the guys and they are struggling and you want to be a part of it. Now I'm back, so now I hope I can just help in little ways and get a win." -- Kings forward Dustin Brown
