Zach Parise is week-to-week with a lower body injury.

David Backes will miss at least the Boston Bruins' next two games after undergoing a minor procedure on his arm.

"David Backes underwent the removal of the olecranon bursa from his elbow on Monday, Oct. 24. His condition will be updated after the weekend," general manager Don Sweeney said in a statement released by the team.

The bursa is a liquid filled sac that provides cushion against the pointy bone in the elbow.

Anton Khudobin is expected to miss approximately three weeks with an upper-body injury.

Khudobin, 30, is 0-2-0 with a 4.10 goals-against average and .849 save percentage this season.

On Tuesday, the Bruins recalled goaltender Zane McIntyre on an emergency basis from Providence to back up Khudobin.

Jeff Zatkoff has been placed on injured reserve by the Los Angeles Kings.

Zatkoff had to be helped off the ice after getting hurt several hours before the Kings' home game against Vancouver. 

Peter Budaj and Jack Campbell will assume goalie duties for the Kings.

Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick is now expected to miss about three months after undergoing a nonsurgical procedure to improve a groin injury he suffered in the season opener.

Quick was injured in the first period Oct. 12 and placed on injured reserve Oct. 13.

Buffalo Sabres first-line winger Evander Kane suffered three cracked ribs after crashing into the end boards during Thursday night's game, according to coach Dan Bylsma.

"Evander has three cracked ribs and we're looking at weeks," Bylsma said Friday after practice.

The Los Angeles Kings placed Jonathan Quick on injured reserve Thursday after the goalie got hurt in the first period of their season opener.

Quick incurred an unspecified lower-body injury during Los Angeles' opener at San Jose while making a fairly ordinary stretch to stop a scoring chance by Joe Pavelski. Quick was replaced by new backup Jeff Zatkoff for the final two periods of the Kings' 2-1 loss.

The club described Quick's absence as "week-to-week."

A head injury has once again sidelined hockey's best player. The Penguins announced that captain Sidney Crosby has been diagnosed with a concussion, and there is no timetable for his return.

"He came to the rink on Saturday not feeling well, and we went from there," Sullivan said.

The Los Angeles Kings have placed right wing Marian Gaborik on injured reserve with a broken right foot.

Gaborik is expected to be sidelined for at least eight weeks, keeping the Slovak goal scorer out of the Kings' lineup until late November.
