Darcy Kuemper News: Exits ice first Wednesday

Kuemper was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Vegas on Wednesday.

Kuemper has lost three straight outings, going 0-2-1 with a 4.08 GAA and an .820 save percentage. Since returning from an upper-body issue, the veteran netminder has conceded four or more goals in four of his six appearances. If Kuemper continues to struggle, the Kings may need to consider giving Anton Forsberg some extra work to hold on to a playoff spot.
