Kuemper is slated to serve as the starting netminder for Monday's road game against Washington.
Kuemper has picked up wins in each of his last four starts, posting a 1.51 GAA and .935 save percentage during that stretch, which includes a shutout win over Winnipeg. The Capitals haven't been very effective offensively this season, scoring just 2.83 goals per game, which ranks 23rd in the league.
