Falls in overtime Kuemper stopped 21 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact This was his first start in five games, and Kuemper didn't make a great case for more playing time against the league's worst team. This was Kuemper's fifth defeat (2-1-4) over his last seven appearances, and he's allowed at least four goals in five of those games. On the year, Kuemper is 19-14-15 with a 2.78 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 50 games. The Kings' regular-season finale is in Calgary on Thursday.

Tending twine Tuesday Kuemper will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.

Impact Kuemper will get the nod in the second half of a back-to-back. The Kings are still playing for positioning, so they'd like to get a win, which would also give Kuemper some confidence going into the playoffs. He's 2-1-3 with 21 goals allowed on 146 shots (.856) save percentage) over his last six games, and he's been on the bench for the previous four games as Anton Forsberg helped the Kings secure their playoff spot.

Gets win despite getting pelted Kuemper made 14 saves in a 7-6 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.

Impact The Kings are clinging to the second wild card, but they have played like they don't want it, and Kuemper has been pelted with pucks lately. He was under fire most of the night, and he has allowed 15 goals in his last three games (1-1-1). His save percentage is a meager .786 in that span. Kuemper is a tough activation as long as the Kings continue to play fire wagon hockey.

Starting in goal Saturday Kuemper will protect the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.

Impact Kuemper will get the nod for the sixth time in seven games. He's 1-1-3 over his last five outings, giving up 15 goals on 126 shots in that span. The Maple Leafs present a winnable matchup for Kuemper, and he'll need to be at his best to avoid causing the Kings to slip down the standings in a tight wild-card race out west.

Takes shootout loss Kuemper stopped 30 of 34 shots in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Predators.

Impact Kuemper gave up the first three goals of the game, but he stayed in and steadied things from there. The Kings rewarded him with a comeback to force overtime, and Kuemper kept rolling until Luke Evangelista's tally in the eighth round of the shootout. That's a tough loss for the Kings to take, especially against a team right in the thick of the playoff race alongside them. Kuemper has gone 1-1-3 over his last five outings, and he's now at an 18-14-14 record with a 2.69 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 48 appearances. Kuemper should get the opportunity to regain confidence if he gets the start Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, who were eliminated from playoff contention with their loss to the Sharks on Thursday.

Starting versus Predators Kuemper will protect the home goal versus the Predators on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Kuemper was pulled Saturday versus the Mammoth, and even with three days between games, he'll fill the backup role Wednesday against the Blues. Kuemper should see a majority of the starts down the stretch as the Kings compete for a playoff spot. The Kings have just one more back-to-back after this week's set.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Pulled after two periods Saturday Kuemper stopped 11 of 16 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Kuemper was pulled after two periods in an ineffective performance. This was his first regulation loss since March 7 versus the Canadiens -- he went 3-0-4 over the seven outings in between. This poor showing dropped Kuemper to 18-14-13 with a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 47 starts this season. The Kings have a back-to-back up next with major implications on the playoff race in both games, as they host the Blues on Wednesday and the Predators on Thursday. Kuemper and Anton Forsberg will likely split those games, though Kuemper would be the more probable of the two to get doubled up for starts, especially if the Kings lose ground in the playoff race while idle for the three days.

Set to face Utah Kuemper will patrol the home crease against the Mammoth on Saturday, per Eric Stephens of The Athletic.

Impact Kuemper is coming off a 19-save performance in Thursday's 4-0 shutout win over Vancouver. He has gone 18-13-13 this campaign with a 2.60 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 46 appearances. Utah is tied for 13th in the league with 3.14 goals per game this season.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Cruises to shutout win Kuemper posted a 19-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

Impact Kuemper didn't have a lot of work to do against the NHL's worst team, and he took care of business while facing his lightest workload in any outing in March. He's now 4-1-4 this month, and that ability to salvage points is keeping the Kings in the playoff race -- they're one point back of the Predators for the second wild-card spot through Thursday's action. This was Kuemper's third shutout of the season, and he improved to 18-13-13 with a 2.60 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 46 appearances. The Kings have a pivotal matchup versus the Mammoth on Saturday, and Kuemper will likely be playing a lot as long as the Kings remain the hunt.
