Kuemper saved 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper is 7-1-1 over his last nine games, and he hasn't allowed more than two goals in any of those outings. The 34-year-old netminder gave up a goal to J.T. Miller early in the second period, but the Kings cashed in twice on the power play to take the lead before the end of that frame. Kuemper is now 25-9-7 on the year with a 2.10 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 42 outings. His numbers are good enough for dark-horse Vezina Trophy consideration, though injuries early in the year mean he doesn't have the same workload as some of the league's other top goalies. The Kings will be tested in their next game when they visit the Avalanche on Thursday.

Kuemper stopped 11 of 13 shots in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper didn't paint a Picasso between the pipes, but he didn't have to with the Kings' offense putting up seven goals for a second straight game. The 34-year-old has won six of his last seven outings, allowed a total of seven goals in that span. For the season, he's up to 24-9-7 with a 2.13 GAA and a .917 save percentage over 41 appearances. He won't get many easy matchups like this one -- the Kings host the Rangers on Tuesday for their next game, which should present more of a challenge.

Kuemper will patrol the home crease against the Bruins on Sunday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper will start in the second half of a back-to-back after David Rittich was in goal for Saturday's 7-2 win over the Hurricanes. Kuemper has been locked in over his last six outings, earning a 5-1-0 record, .964 save percentage and 0.83 GAA. The Bruins also played Saturday -- they struggled to generate offense in a 3-1 loss to the Sharks. Kuemper is a strong play for this home matchup.

Kuemper stopped 17 of 18 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper has been playing at a high level in recent weeks, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say he's been the best goaltender in the league over the last two weeks. Aside from bouncing back from the loss to the Wild on March 17, now he's won five of his past six appearances. Over that six-game stretch, the 34-year-old veteran netminder has gone 5-1-0 with an excellent, but probably unsustainable, 0.83 GAA and a .964 save percentage.

Kuemper will be between the road pipes against Chicago on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper snapped a four-game winning streak Monday against the Wild by allowing two goals on 21 shots (.905 save percentage). However, he'll draw a fifth consecutive start Thursday and will have a favorable opportunity to bounce back, as the Blackhawks are converting just 2.69 goals per game this year, which is tied for the fifth-lowest mark in the league.

Kuemper stopped 19 of 21 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to Minnesota. The third goal was an empty-netter in the final minutes of the third period.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper saw the end of his four-game winning streak with this defeat, though it wasn't a woeful outing or anything like that. Kuemper has been on a roll of late and has posted a save percentage of at least .900 in his past six appearances, which translates to a 4-1-1 record with an excellent 0.99 GAA and a .960 save percentage over that stretch.

During his four-game hot stretch, he's logged a 0.49 GAA and .980 save percentage, and he'll be between the pipes for a fourth consecutive matchup Monday. His lone start against the Wild this year came at home Dec. 7, and he turned aside 22 of 23 shots (.957 save percentage) en route to the win.

EDGE Analysis
After giving up 12 goals while posting a record of 0-2-1 from Feb. 28 to March 5, Kuemper has rebounded in a massive way.

The 34-year-old netminder is up to 35 shutouts in his career, including four this season. He's gone 22-8-7 with a 2.16 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 38 appearances in what's shaping up to be one of the best seasons of his career. The Kings head out on a two-game road trip to start next week, with stops in Minnesota on Monday and Chicago on Thursday.
