PLAYER NEWS

Kings Jarret Stoll (LA - Center) News: Coach Darryl Sutter said Stoll (head) skated for 15 minutes Friday but remains "a long ways off," the LA Times' Helene Elliot reports. [+] Impact: While he may not be close to returning to game action, it is definitely good to see him back on the ice for the first time since suffering a head injury in Game 1 of the second-round series against the Sharks. However, he still has not been cleared for contact, and it is unknown when he will be able to play again. (RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) Jonathan Quick (LA - Goaltender) News: Quick stopped all 24 shots in faced in a 3-0 win over the Sharks on Thursday. [+] Impact: Quick may have started off slowly this postseason but he' clearly back on track and flashing the form he showed in the 2012 playoffs that netted him the Conn Smythe. (RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) Jarret Stoll (LA - Center) News: Stoll (head) was able to ride a stationary bike Thursday, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports. [+] Impact: Stoll is still not skating, but is finally showing some progress after being hit by the Sharks' Raffi Torres in Game 1 of their second round series. He definitely won't play in Game 5 Thursday since he hasn't been cleared for contact yet. (RotoWire - Thu. May 23, 2013)

Avalanche Patrick Roy (COL - Goaltender) News: Roy has been hired as coach of the Colorado Avalanche. The team says Thursday it has reached an agreement in principle with the Hall of Fame goaltender to take over as coach and vice president of hockey operations. [+] Impact: The 47-year-old Roy won two Stanley Cups with Colorado. He becomes the sixth coach in Avalanche history and the 14th in franchise history - the team began as the Quebec Nordiques and joined the NHL in 1979. Roy has spent the last eight seasons as coach and general manager of the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, winning the 2006 Memorial Cup. He is also a part owner of the QMJHL franchise. (STATS - Thu. May 23, 2013)
