Darcy Kuemper - Struggles vs. Wild Kuemper allowed five goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Kuemper couldn't recover after allowing a pair of goals early in the first period, as he took the loss in just his second start in Washington's last six games. The 33-year-old Kuemper is now 11-11-2 on the season with an .892 save percentage and 3.21 GAA as he continues to cede playing time to Charlie Lindgren. Lindgren will get the starting nod Wednesday in Colorado, meaning Kuemper's next start could come as soon as Saturday on the road versus the Stars.

Charlie Lindgren - Starting against Avalanche Lindgren will protect the road net against Colorado on Wednesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Lindgren was a little shaky in his last start Saturday against St. Louis, surrendering three goals on only 29 shots en route to a 3-0 defeat. He'll try to get back in the win column in a rough road matchup with an Avalanche squad that's an impressive 18-5-0 at home this season.

Rasmus Sandin - Good to go Sandin (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday against Minnesota, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sandin, who has missed the past eight games, is slated to be with Trevor van Riemsdyk in his return to the lineup. The 23-year-old Sandin should also see time on the second power-play unit. He has 11 assists, 45 shots on goal, 65 blocked shots and 34 hits in 36 games this season. Ethan Bear and Alexander Alexeyev are expected to be healthy scratches for Tuesday's contest.

Darcy Kuemper - Defending cage versus Wild Kuemper will patrol the blue paint on the road versus Minnesota on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kuemper will take the first game of the Caps' back-to-back, which likely means Charlie Lindgren starts versus Colorado on Wednesday. For his part, the veteran Kuemper has played in just one of the last five games, seemingly falling behind Lindgren in the pecking order. Still, Kuemper stopped all 24 shots in that lone outing for his first shutout of the campaign.
