Kuemper (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve Friday. - Kuemper's status hasn't been updated since he left Wednesday's matchup with Colorado due to his undisclosed injury but this move will sideline him for at least the next two games.

Kuemper is set to start on the road against Colorado on Wednesday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Kuemper has a 4-2-3 record, 2.65 GAA and .899 save percentage over nine appearances in 2024-25. He's lost his last two starts, but he received just three goals worth of support over those two games while surrendering only five markers. The Avalanche rank 10th offensively with 3.44 goals per game and have won three of their past four matchups, with the lone exception being a defeat at hands of the 15-1-0 Jets. In other words, Kuemper has a challenging assignment ahead of him. |

Kuemper turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Flames, with Calgary's final goal getting scored into an empty net. - The veteran netminder kept the Flames off the board in the first period, but Kuemper gave up two tallies in the second and the Kings' offense didn't show signs of life until late in the third. Kuemper has allowed three goals or less in six straight starts, going 3-2-1 with a 2.17 GAA and .906 save percentage, and he's enjoying life in Los Angeles' stingy scheme -- Monday's 27 shots were the most he'd faced during that six-start stretch. |

Kuemper was the first goalie off the ice Thursday, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports, indicating he'll guard the home cage against Vancouver. - Kuemper is undefeated in regulation over his last six outings, posting a 3-0-3 record, 2.94 GAA and .885 save percentage. As long as he continues to secure points for his team, the veteran netminder should see the bulk of the workload moving forward, relegating David Rittich firmly to the No. 2 role. |

Kuemper made 16 saves in Monday's 3-0 win over Nashville. - The Kings' defense was at peak stinginess, allowing only three shots in the third period, and Kuemper took care of the rest. It's the first shutout of the season for the veteran netminder, and since returning in late October from a lower-body injury Kuemper has looked sharp, going 3-0-1 over his last four starts with a 1.97 GAA and .910 save percentage. |

Kuemper made 18 saves in regulation and overtime and failed to make a stop on three shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Chicago. - He appeared to be in complete control as he took a shutout into the third period, but things fell apart for Kuemper when a seemingly harmless Nick Foligno shot early in the final frame trickled through his legs, and the 34-year-old goalie then swept it into the net himself when he reached back to find it. Kuemper's day ended with an 0-for-3 showing in the shootout, which was capped by Ryan Donato deking him out of his shorts for the winner. Kuemper still has yet to take a regulation loss this season, going 3-0-3 in six starts, but his 3.11 GAA and .890 save percentage could cause him to lose his grip on the No. 1 job -- which would be a repeat of his fate in 2023-24 with the Capitals. |

Kuemper (lower body) was removed from injured reserve Thursday. - Kuemper won't start Thursday versus the Sharks -- David Rittich will be in net against the last winless team in the league this season. That said, Kuemper should take over as the No. 1 netminder going forward, beginning with Saturday's home game versus Utah. He went 1-0-2 with 11 goals allowed on 100 shots over three appearances before missing the next four contests. |
None |

Kuemper (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday by the Kings. - Kuemper last played Monday, so this move is presumably retroactive to that date. If that's the case, then Kuemper isn't eligible to play Sunday's road game against Anaheim, but he can be activated in time for Tuesday's clash in Vegas, provided he's healthy. David Rittich has appeared in each of LA's past two games, and he'll likely continue to be leaned on heavily until Kuemper is ready to play. |

Kuemper is dealing with a lower-body injury that will sideline him against Toronto on Wednesday, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports. - While head coach Jim Hiller described Kuemper as day-to-day, he probably should be considered doubtful to start against Montreal on Thursday in the second half of a back-to-back. With David Rittich taking the first game versus the Leafs, that would potentially open the door for Pheonix Copley to get the nod Thursday. After a decent first two games to open the 2024-25 campaign, the 34-year-old Kuemper was absolutely rocked by Ottawa on Monday, giving up eight goals on 41 shots (.805 save percentage) -- though he still earned his team a point with the overtime defeat. |

Kuemper will patrol the blue paint on the road versus the Senators on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Kuemper has looked solid to open the season, posting a 1-0-1 record, 1.46 GAA and .948 save percentage through his first two outings. The 34-year-old netminder should continue to see the majority of the workload for the Kings this season, though a back-to-back versus Toronto and Montreal on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, should afford David Rittich a chance to make his 2024-25 season debut. |

Kuemper will guard the road goal Saturday versus Boston, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Kuemper made 32 saves in Thursday's 3-1 win over Buffalo to open the 2024-25 campaign. Boston has accumulated 10 goals in two games this season en route to a 1-1-0 record. |

Kuemper made 32 saves in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sabres. - Alex Tuch beat him on a shorthanded breakaway in the second period, but even then Kuemper made the initial save only for the Buffalo forward to get enough of a bouncing puck on the rebound to put it into the net. Otherwise, he had an answer for everything the Sabres fired his way. Kuemper is coming off a shaky 2023-24 season with the Capitals in which he stumbled to a 3.31 GAA and .890 save percentage over 33 appearances, but playing behind the Kings' tighter defensive system should have the 34-year-old netminder poised for significant improvement. |

Kuemper was the first goalie off Thursday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll be in the road crease for the Kings' regular-season opener against the Sabres on Thursday. - Kuemper spent the last two seasons in Washington, and he had one of the worst years of his career during the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 13-14-3 record, 3.31 GAA and .890 save percentage over 33 regular-season appearances. However, the 34-year-old had a strong preseason and will begin the regular season as the Kings' top goalie. |

Kuemper stopped 11 of 14 shots during Saturday's preseason loss to the Panthers. - Two power-play goals in the first period put the Kings in a hole they couldn't climb out of, but it's encouraging that the team was still stingy in allowing shots despite the absence of Drew Doughty (ankle) on the blue line. Kuemper is coming off a disappointing two-year run as a Capital that saw him produce a 3.03 GAA and .902 save percentage in 90 games, but the 34-year-old netminder should be able to rebound behind a tighter defensive scheme with the Kings. |

Kuemper will guard the home goal versus the Panthers in Saturday's exhibition game in Quebec City, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Kuemper has been sharp in the preseason, winning both of his previous starts while allowing just one goal on 35 shots. The 34-year-old's strong preseason has positioned him well to begin the year as the Kings' top goalie, though the absence of Drew Doughty (ankle) could see the team's defensive system a little leakier than normal. |

Kuemper will be in net for Monday's road exhibition game against the Ducks, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Kuemper is battling with David Rittich for the No. 1 netminding gig after being acquired in a trade from Washington in June.

Kuemper is set to start in Wednesday's preseason road game in Vegas, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider. - Kuemper was acquired by the Kings from Washington over the summer and is set to compete with David Rittich for starts. The 34-year-old Kuemper is coming off a rough campaign in which he posted a 13-14-3 record, 3.31 GAA and .890 save percentage in 33 regular-season appearances with the Capitals. He'll likely need to do meaningfully better than that to secure the starting gig over Rittich. |

Kuemper was dealt to the Kings from the Capitals on Wednesday in exchange for Pierre-Luc Dubois. - Kuemper had a 13-14-3 record, 3.31 GAA and .890 save percentage in 33 regular-season appearances with Washington in 2023-24. Perhaps the 34-year-old will benefit from the change of scenery and rebound, but he'll likely begin the 2024-25 as the backup netminder. Between his age and recent results, the three seasons remaining on Kuemper's five-year, $26.25 million contract seem rather undesirable. The fact that he's the only return LA got for Dubois speaks to how much the 25-year-old forward's market value has fallen following his 40-point season and due to the seven seasons remaining on his eight-year, $64 million deal. |

Kuemper turned aside 41 of 44 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes, with Carolina's final goal getting scored into an empty net. - Alex Ovechkin was the only Capitals skater who seemed aware the team was fighting for a playoff spot, and Kuemper was hung out to dry as his team got outshot 45-16 on the night. Even so, he kept things close and didn't give up the lead until Carolina potted two power-play tallies in the third period. The 33-year-old netminder hasn't won a game since Feb. 26, making only four appearances and giving up 14 goals on 107 shots (.869 save percentage). With Charlie Lindgren struggling too of late, the duo could be moving into a timeshare as coach Spencer Carbery tries to find something that works. |

Kuemper is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Friday, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports. - Kuemper has a 13-13-3 record, 3.32 GAA and .888 save percentage in 32 outings in 2023-24. This will be his first start since March 22, when he stopped just 18 of 22 shots in 39:54 of ice time before being pulled en route to a 7-6 shootout win over the Hurricanes. Although Washington won that contest, given how Kuemper performed on a personal level, he'll be entering this rematch with something to prove. The Hurricanes, who rank eighth offensively this year with 3.34 goals per game, will be a challenging adversary. |

Kuemper turned aside all four shots he faced after replacing Charlie Lindgren early in the third period of Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres. Lindgren was credited with the defeat. - Buffalo struck three times in the first six minutes of the third to chase Lindgren from the game, forcing Kuemper into action. The 33-year-old Kuemper has made only two starts since the beginning of March, and he got the hook himself in one of them. His 3.32 GAA and .888 save percentage on the season are far from impressive. The Capitals are hanging onto the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference by their fingernails, but there's been no indication Kuemper will see a bigger workload down the stretch. |

Kuemper allowed four goals on 22 shots before being replaced by Charlie Lindgren to begin the third period in Friday's 7-6 shootout win over the Hurricanes. - It was a bad night for the goalies in general, but Kuemper at least avoided taking a loss after exiting the game with Washington facing a 4-3 deficit heading into the second intermission.

Kuemper will be between the pipes Friday in Seattle, Mike Chambers of The Denver Post reports. - Colorado has outscored opponents 20-5 over a three-game winning streak, with Kuemper in the crease for the duration.
