Kuemper surrendered four goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper has gone 2-4-3 with a 3.36 GAA and an .864 save percentage over his last 10 outings. That's not great momentum to take into the Olympics, where he'll be representing Team Canada. Kuemper is at 14-11-9 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 36 appearances. If he gets into any Olympic games, he should benefit from Canada's strong defensive core, which includes Kings teammate Drew Doughty. Look for Anton Forsberg to handle the net Thursday versus the Golden Knights in the second half of the back-to-back.

Kuemper will guard the home goal versus the Kraken on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper has won two of his last three games, but he's allowed nine goals on 81 shots in that span. The 35-year-old may catch a break Wednesday, as the Kraken are on the second half of a back-to-back following their 4-2 loss to the Ducks on Tuesday.

Kuemper made 19 saves in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the home side chipped away and scored goals early in the second and third periods to force OT before Quinton Byfield found the winner. Kuemper wrapped up January with just one regulation loss in his last six outings, going 2-1-2 with a 2.89 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Kuemper will defend the visiting goal in Philadelphia on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper is 13-10-9 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.57 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 34 appearances in 2025-26. The Flyers are producing 2.92 goals per game this season, 21st in the league.

Kuemper turned aside 28 of 31 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
An Adrian Kempe power-play tally in the second period was all the offense the Kings could muster, but they were already in a 3-0 hole at that point. Kuemper is struggling to close out January, going 1-3-3 over his last eight outings with a 3.48 GAA and .864 save percentage, but he isn't getting much help from his teammates either -- Los Angeles has averaged just 2.38 goals in those eight games.

Kuemper will patrol the crease on the road versus Buffalo on Thursday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper hasn't played since Saturday after Monday's clash with the Blue Jackets was postponed. As such, the veteran backstop comes into this matchup against the Sabres with plenty of rest. That should benefit Kuemper, considering his recent struggles in which he went 1-2-3 with a 3.56 GAA over his last seven outings.

Kuemper and the Kings will not face the Blue Jackets on Monday after the game was postponed due to severe weather.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings were already practicing Monday when the news came out. The team will benefit from not having to play in a back-to-back, which means Kuemper figures to be between the pipes on the road versus Detroit on Tuesday, though that hasn't been officially confirmed yet.

Kuemper stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper gave up three goals in a span of 5:56 during the second period, and he also let a one-goal lead slip away when Jordan Kyrou tallied with 2:10 left in the third. However, the Kings were better in the shootout, ending Kuemper's six-start winless run. The 35-year-old hasn't been very good lately, allowing four or more goals in five of his last 10 outings. He's at a 13-9-9 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 33 starts this season. The Kings have a back-to-back up next with stops in Columbus on Monday and Detroit on Tuesday.

Kuemper is expected to start on the road against St. Louis on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper will try to earn his first win since Jan. 5 after going 0-2-3 with a 3.53 GAA and an .855 save percentage across his past six appearances. He's 12-9-9 with a 2.52 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 32 outings this campaign. The Blues have lost their past three games while being outscored 11-3, and St. Louis is 19-24-8 on the season, so this is a favorable matchup for Kuemper despite his recent struggles.

Kuemper (upper body) will be an option against the Blues on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Dooley, Kuemper lost feeling in his arm following a collision in Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers, but he is good to go now. This will not only be welcome news for the Kings but also for Team Canada, which won't have to worry about replacing the backstop on the Olympic roster. In his last six outings, Kuemper has failed to record a win, going 0-2-3 with a 3.53 GAA, though a clash with the lowly Blues could get him back on track.
