Jonathan Quick has said that he is looking forward to the USA's clash against hosts Russia in Group A of the men's ice hockey tournament at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The 28-year-old Los Angeles Kings goaltender will start for the Americans at the Bolshoy Ice Dome in Sochi on Saturday.
"I'm sure it's going to be loud, and a lot of emotion in the arena, so we're looking forward to it," ESPN quotes him as saying.
"This is the kind of game that you want to play, that you want to be a part of, so it's going to be fun."
Russia began their campaign with a 5-2 victory over Slovenia, while the USA got the better of Slovakia 7-1.
