Kuemper was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, Zach Dooley of Kings Insider reports, and is expected to defend the visiting crease in Dallas on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper has won four straight, giving up 10 goals on 100 shots (.900 save percentage) in victories over Vegas, Utah, Montreal and Carolina during the month of February. Kuemper is 18-6-6 with two shutouts, a 2.21 GAA and a .917 save percentage across 31 outings this season. Dallas is generating 3.31 goals per game this season, which ranks sixth in the NHL.

Kuemper stopped 21 of 23 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper has been on a roll of late and secured the win for a fourth consecutive start, allowing three or fewer goals in each of those contests. The 34-year-old has been excellent in the new year. He posted a 5-4-1 record with a 1.72 GAA and a .938 save percentage across 10 games in January and remains undefeated in February, going 4-0-0 with a 2.50 GAA and a .900 save percentage.

Kuemper will get the starting nod at home against Vegas on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper is riding a three-game winning streak, during which he has posted a 2.67 GAA and .896 save percentage. With David Rittich having lost four of his last five outings, the Kings may rely heavily on Kuemper heading into the final weeks of the NHL season -- though a road back-to-back against Dallas and St. Louis on Friday and Saturday, respectively, will likely see the duo split the workload.

Kuemper stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper gave up a goal in each period to Barrett Hayton, but the Kings' offense was just a bit stronger overall. This was Kuemper's third straight win to begin February after he went a pedestrian 5-4-1 in January. For the season, the 34-year-old netminder is up to 17-6-6 with a 2.22 GAA and a .917 save percentage across 30 starts. The Kings host the Golden Knights on Monday, which could be another starting opportunity for Kuemper, who has typically handled the workload of a No. 1 goalie when healthy this season.

Kuemper (personal) will guard the home goal versus Utah on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper had an early start to the 4 Nations Face-Off break after missing a Feb. 8 game versus the Ducks. He's ready to return to the crease against Utah, a team he beat 3-2 with a 24-save performance Oct. 26. Kuemper is 7-4-1 with a 1.85 GAA and a .932 save percentage since the start of January, so he's a strong fantasy option.

Kuemper (personal) won't participate in Saturday's home game against Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper has a 16-6-6 record, 2.19 GAA and .918 save percentage in 29 appearances in 2024-25. The Kings recalled Pheonix Copley from AHL Ontario on an emergency basis due to Kuemper's absence. The starting goaltender for Saturday's matchup is unclear, but David Rittich could play in back-to-back games after stopping 26 shots in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over Dallas.

Kuemper stopped 18 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
All three of the Canadiens' goals came from defensemen, though two of them were on odd plays. It's still a second consecutive win for Kuemper, though he has allowed three or more goals in three of his last five games. The 34-year-old netminder is 16-6-6 with a 2.19 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 29 appearances. The Kings have a home back-to-back up next as they host the Stars on Friday and the Ducks on Saturday, so Kuemper and David Rittich should each be expected to make a start in that stretch.

Kuemper is set to start at home against Montreal on Wednesday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper stopped 26 of 28 shots en route to a 4-2 victory over Carolina in his last start Saturday. He's 15-6-6 with a 2.16 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 28 outings in 2024-25. Montreal ranks 16th in goals per game with 2.92.

Kuemper stopped 26 of 28 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Kuemper had gone 1-2-1 with 10 goals allowed over his last four games. The 34-year-old finally received some goal support -- the Kings scored more than two goals for the first time in eight games. Kuemper improved to 15-6-6 with a 2.16 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 28 appearances this season. The Kings will play three more times before the 4 Nations Face-Off, with home games versus the Canadiens on Wednesday, the Stars on Friday and the Ducks on Saturday. Kuemper is likely to start two of those contests.
