Kuemper was the first goalie off the ice ahead of Monday's road game versus Utah, indicating he'll start in goal, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper is coming off a 23-save shutout victory over the Blackhawks on Saturday, a win that ended a three-game losing streak for the netminder. With 20 appearances through the Kings' first 28 games already, the veteran is on pace to top the 55-game mark this year, but he is off his win pace from last year and wouldn't reach 30 victories without an improvement in his results.

Kuemper stopped all 23 shots he faced in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper snapped his three-game skid with this performance, which was his second shutout of the season. He had allowed eight goals on 91 shots during his 0-2-1 skid that preceded Saturday's victory. On the year, Kuemper is up to 9-6-5 with a 2.24 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 20 starts. The 35-year-old netminder has started four straight games just once this season, but he could end up doing it again if he gets the nod in Utah on Monday.

Kuemper will start at home versus the Blackhawks on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper will look to avenge a 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks on Thursday. The 35-year-old has allowed two or fewer goals in five of his last six outings, but he's gone 1-3-2 in that span. The Blackhawks have scored 16 goals over their last five games, going 2-1-2 in that span.

Kuemper stopped 34 of 36 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper took his third straight loss (0-2-1), but he's allowed a reasonable eight goals on 91 shots in that span. The 35-year-old hasn't been the problem during the Kings' recent struggles, but it'll be tough for him to win regularly until the team's offense improves. On the year, Kuemper is 8-6-5 with a 2.35 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 19 appearances. The Kings have a rematch with the Blackhawks on Saturday.

Kuemper will protect the home goal versus the Blackhawks on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper's continued to play well recently, but he's 1-2-2 with 11 goals allowed over his last five games. He's maintained a .918 save percentage in that span. The Blackhawks have scored 14 goals over their last four contests and could present a bit of a challenge.

Kuemper stopped 22 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Capitals. The third goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper put in a decent effort, but he couldn't best his former teammates. He has four losses in his last five games, but he's allowed just 11 goals in that span. For the season, the 35-year-old netminder is providing quality work for the Kings with an 8-5-5 record, a 2.37 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 18 starts. The next two games for the Kings are both at home versus the Blackhawks, with the first scheduled for Thursday.

EDGE Analysis
Kuemper is undefeated in regulation over his last three outings, posting a 1-0-2 record, 2.25 GAA and .918 save percentage. The veteran backstop figures to reach the 50-game mark this year, which would set him up to reach the 20-win threshold for the fourth time in the last five years.

The veteran netminder has just one win in his last four starts, going 1-1-2 despite a sharp 2.20 GAA and .918 save percentage over that stretch.

Kuemper is expected to start on the road against Anaheim on Friday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper has an 8-4-4 record, 2.30 GAA and .910 save percentage in 16 outings in 2025-26. He's allowed two or fewer goals in each of his past three starts, but a lack of offensive support has resulted in a 1-1-1 record over that stretch. Anaheim ranks second in goals per game with 3.61.

Kuemper stopped 27 of 28 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The game was scoreless through two periods. Kuemper remained steady in the third, allowing just a Fabian Zetterlund goal at 10:49 of the frame, which the Kings answered with a Brandt Clarke power-play tally. This was Kuemper's first win in his last three outings, but he has been good this month, going 5-2-1 with a 1.76 GAA and a .927 save percentage in eight appearances. Overall, he's 8-4-4 with a 2.30 GAA and a .910 save percentage in 16 outings. Kuemper and Anton Forsberg figure to split the Kings' next two games, which are Friday in Anaheim and Saturday at home versus the Ducks.
