Kuemper stopped 39 of 40 shots in a 2-1 shootout win over the Kings on Tuesday. It was his first NHL win of the season and a very strong performance against a quality team. He will start tonight against a Predators team who have lost five of their last six.
Edler will miss his 16th straight game with a knee injury that he suffered on December 3. He has been skating consistently with the Canucks and is nearing a return, but it won't be tonight. There is a good chance he is back for the Canucks' next game on Monday in Los Angeles.
Edler has missed five weeks with a knee injury, but appears close to returning to the lineup. The Canucks are off tonight, but are back in action tomorrow. Edler definitely seems like a possibility for Friday's game. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.
Kuemper has started one game and has one relief effort this season, in those two games he is 0-1-0 with a 6.13 GAA and .625 SV%… Yep. In the AHL he is 7-10-0 with a 2.47 GAA and .929 SV%. Obviously it is a small sample size for his NHL performances this season, but the matchup with the Kings is an ugly one.
Edler has been out since December 3, but his presence at the morning skate suggests that he could return this evening. However it seems very unlikely that he will play tonight, Edler appears to be getting close to returning to the blueline. He has had a bad year posting three goals and six assists with a minus-12 rating in 27 games.
Kuemper will serve as Niklas Backstrom's backup tonight but is not expected to stay with the team long. He was recalled because Josh Harding is out with the flu.
Edler will miss his 11th consecutive game today after suffering a knee injury on December 3. Edler has had a disappointing season recording just nine points (3G / 6A) with a minus-12 rating in 27 games. He likely won't return for at least another 10 days.
Ceci was the 15th overall pick in the 2012 NHL Draft. The 19-year-old is in his first full season with Binghamton and has two goals and 15 assists in 24 games. He is a great defensive prospect and is known for both his offensive and defensive prowess. He is a great power-play guy, but likely won't be with the Senators long enough to garner fantasy value. He will play for Marc Methout, who is out with the flu.
Dumoulin was the 51st overall pick by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2009 NHL Draft. He is currently in his second year with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL) after spending three years at Boston College. The 6-foot-3, 200 lbs. defenseman has one goal and five assists in 22 games this season. With Pittsburgh down three starting D-men, Dumoulin could make his NHL debut tonight.
Edler was injured in Tuesday's win over the Predators and will not play Friday. Andrew Alberts will suit up with Edler on the shelf. He has struggled this season posting just three goals and six assists with a minus-12 rating in 27 games.
It says "Probable" but that is not the case, we will update when the Wild confirm Harding or Kuemper. This is simply an heads up.
Kuemper has appeared in one game for Minnesota this season, he allowed three goals on seven shots (5.63 GAA / .571 SV%) in a loss. He is 3-7-0 with a 2.97 GAA and .908 SV% with Iowa this season.
Perry was a gametime decision, but will be in the lineup. This is good news for the Ducks who will be without Ryan Getzlaf. Perry is fourth in the NHL with 11 goals and sixth with 22 points.
Ryan Getzlaf missed the last two games and could be out again tonight, so if Perry can't go the Ducks will be without their two leading scorers. Consider him a game-time decision.
Kuemper allowed three goals on seven shots before being pulled on Tuesday.
Josh Harding started last night vs. Buffalo so it will be Kuemper who faces the Maple Leafs this evening. Tonight will be his fourth career start, he is 1-2-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .916 SV% in his previous three starts
Josh Harding started last night vs. Buffalo so it will probably be Kuemper who faces the Maple Leafs this evening. Tonight would be his fourth career start, he is 1-2-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .916 SV% in his previous three starts.
Niklas Backstrom is out with a knee injury so Kuemper gets called up to backup Josh Harding. The WIld have back-to-back games tonight and tomorrow, so Kuemper could get the start tomorrow.
Edler will be eligible to return next Saturday in Pittsburgh.
At approximately 19:46 of the second period, Edler collied with Sharks forward Tomas Hertl near the Vancouver bench, resulting in Hertl losing his helmet. There was no penalty called on the play and Hertl skated a regular shift in the third period.
