Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Pulled after two periods Saturday
Kuemper stopped 11 of 16 shots in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Mammoth.
Kuemper was pulled after two periods in an ineffective performance. This was his first regulation loss since March 7 versus the Canadiens -- he went 3-0-4 over the seven outings in between. This poor showing dropped Kuemper to 18-14-13 with a 2.67 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 47 starts this season. The Kings have a back-to-back up next with major implications on the playoff race in both games, as they host the Blues on Wednesday and the Predators on Thursday. Kuemper and Anton Forsberg will likely split those games, though Kuemper would be the more probable of the two to get doubled up for starts, especially if the Kings lose ground in the playoff race while idle for the three days.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Cruises to shutout win
Kuemper posted a 19-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.
Kuemper didn't have a lot of work to do against the NHL's worst team, and he took care of business while facing his lightest workload in any outing in March. He's now 4-1-4 this month, and that ability to salvage points is keeping the Kings in the playoff race -- they're one point back of the Predators for the second wild-card spot through Thursday's action. This was Kuemper's third shutout of the season, and he improved to 18-13-13 with a 2.60 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 46 appearances. The Kings have a pivotal matchup versus the Mammoth on Saturday, and Kuemper will likely be playing a lot as long as the Kings remain the hunt.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Expected to start Thursday
Kuemper is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Thursday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

He's 17-13-13 with a 2.66 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 45 appearances this season. Vancouver is a favorable matchup. The Canucks have dropped their past three games to fall to 21-41-8 on the season, and they rank 31st in goals per game with 2.53 this campaign.

He's taken three straight losses past regulation time, giving up nine goals on 77 shots in that span. For the season, Kuemper has a 17-13-13 record with a 2.66 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 45 starts. The Kings' next game is another favorable one as they visit the Canucks on Thursday.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Drops result in overtime
Kuemper gave up four goals on 34 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Kuemper is 2-0-3 with 12 goals allowed over his last five games. He's generally played well in that stretch, though Kuemper hasn't been able to elevate his game when facing stronger offenses. He's now 17-13-12 on the year with a 2.68 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 44 appearances.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Takes shootout loss versus Flyers
Kuemper gave up three goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Kuemper also allowed two goals in the shootout to take the loss.

Kuemper made 21 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Scheduled to start in Boston
Kuemper is expected to start on the road Tuesday against the Bruins, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Anton Forsberg was in goal for Monday's 5-4 overtime win in Columbus, so Kuemper will have a difficult task against a Boston team that is not on the second half of a back-to-back. The Bruins have also won 12 straight games at TD Garden and are 24-8-1 overall on home ice. Kuemper turned in a solid performance against Boston in Los Angeles on Nov. 21, stopping 24 of 26 shots, but the Kings lost that game 2-1 in overtime.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: In goal versus Montreal
Kuemper will protect the home goal versus the Canadiens on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Kuemper picked up a win over the Islanders on Thursday, stopping 32 of 35 shots. He's allowed at least three goals in four of his last five contests, so he's still a risky fantasy play. The Canadiens are on the second half of a back-to-back, but they've scored 19 goals over four games since the Olympic break.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Gives up three goals in win
Kuemper stopped 31 of 34 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.
Kuemper had lost his last two outings, giving up eight goals on 38 shots.

Kuemper is up to 15-12-9 with a 2.68 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 38 appearances. The Kings host the Canadiens on Saturday in what could be a challenging matchup for Kuemper if he gets the nod. He stopped 21 of 22 shots in a 5-1 win over Montreal on Nov. 11.
