Darcy Kuemper - NHL News & Rumors

Takes shootout loss Kuemper stopped 26 of 28 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact The Kings jumped out to a 2-0 lead midway through the second period, but just 3:23 after Joel Armia's tally, the Ducks had tied the game. Kuemper recovered from that quick attack, but he allowed two shootout attempts to go in, sending him to his fifth straight defeat (0-2-3). The 35-year-old goalie is at a 12-9-9 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 31 starts this season. Anton Forsberg seems likely to get the nod for Saturday's rematch in Anaheim.

Gives up three goals Kuemper allowed three goals on 27 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Kuemper took his fourth straight loss, but he was at least able to keep this one close. He's surrendered 14 goals during the skid. The 35-year-old netminder could cede some playing time to Anton Forsberg if he doesn't right the ship. Kuemper is 12-9-8 with a 2.50 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 30 appearances this season. The Kings' next two games are in a home-and-home versus the Ducks, which begins Friday in Los Angeles.

Exits ice first Wednesday Kuemper was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Vegas.

Impact Kuemper has lost three straight outings, going 0-2-1 with a 4.08 GAA and .820 save percentage. Since returning from an upper-body issue, the veteran netminder has conceded four or more goals in four of his six appearances. If Kuemper continues to struggle, the Kings may need to consider giving Anton Forsberg some extra work in order to hold on to a playoff spot.

Settles for loss against Dallas Kuemper allowed two goals on 17 shots during Monday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Kuemper entered Monday's game coming off a performance against the Jets on Jan. 9 in which he recorded just 11 saves on 16 shots (.688 save percentage) before being pulled after the second period of the loss. While he was forced to settle for a third consecutive loss Monday, he held the Stars' formidable offense in check for most of the game. Kuemper faced an early deficit after Wyatt Johnston scored 3:44 into the game, but the netminder didn't allow another goal until Jason Robertson potted the game-winner with 3:46 remaining in the third period. Kuemper has now gone 2-3-1 over six outings since the start of the calendar year, but he put forth a strong effort against the Stars despite the loss.

Starting against Dallas Kuemper was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Stars.

Impact Kuemper hasn't performed particularly well since the start of the calendar year, going 2-2-1 with a 3.97 GAA and .854 save percentage over his last five starts. However, he's been effective over two road appearances against Dallas this year, going 1-0-0 with a 1.57 GAA and .954 save percentage. Despite Kuemper's success over a limited sample against the Stars, they rank third in the NHL with 3.42 goals per game this season.

Pulled after two periods Kuemper gave up five goals on 16 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Kuemper exited the game after two periods, allowing Anton Forsberg to get some work. The 35-year-old Kuemper still looks a bit off after an upper-body injury -- in five starts since his return, he's allowed a total of 19 goals on 130 shots, going 2-2-1 in that span. Overall, Kuemper is now at a 12-8-7 record with a 2.50 GAA and a .905 save percentage. He's best avoided in fantasy until he can right the ship. The Kings play in Edmonton on Saturday, but it's not yet clear which goalie will get the nod for that contest.

First goalie off Friday Kuemper was the first goalie off during Friday's morning skate, Jared Shafran of the Kings' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Winnipeg.

Impact Kuemper has gone 2-1-1 with a 3.40 GAA and .877 save percentage over his last four outings, and he'll draw a fifth consecutive start Friday. He made two starts against Winnipeg earlier this season -- one at home and one on the road -- and he went 1-1-0 with a 1.53 GAA and .940 save percentage during those appearances.

Can't hold off Sharks Kuemper allowed four goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Impact Kuemper had a 3-2 lead to protect over the last 2:10 of regulation but couldn't get the job done. Macklin Celebrini tied the game with 1:07 left in the third period, and he set up William Eklund's overtime tally to send Kuemper to his second loss in four outings since returning from an upper-body injury. The 35-year-old netminder has allowed four goals in three of those games. He's at a 12-7-7 record with a 2.38 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 27 starts. The Kings are set for a two-game road trip next, visiting the Jets on Friday and the Oilers on Saturday. Kuemper's recent play makes him a risky fantasy option, but he's playable against the slumping Jets if he starts the first half of the back-to-back.

Tending twine Wednesday Kuemper is expected to patrol the crease for Wednesday's home clash with San Jose, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Impact Kuemper is 2-1-0 with a 3.26 GAA in three appearances since returning from an upper-body injury. With just 12 victories through his first 26 outings, the 35-year-old netminder could be in danger of missing the 30-win threshold after reaching that mark last year.

Kuemper has 12 wins this season, going 12-7-6 with a 2.32 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 26 appearances so far. He's 2-1-0 with an .884 save percentage since returning from the injury.
