Impact The veteran netminder continues to keep the Kings in every game he starts. Kuemper has started seven of nine games since returning from an undisclosed injury earlier this month and hasn't given up more than three goals in any of them, going 5-0-2 with a 2.12 GAA and .919 save percentage over that stretch.

Starting against Oilers Kuemper will patrol the home crease versus Edmonton on Saturday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Impact Kuemper has gone 4-0-2 in his last six outings, allowing only 12 goals on 158 shots. He has posted a record of 8-2-5 with a 2.40 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 16 appearances this season. Edmonton sits 10th in the league with 3.26 goals per game in 2024-25.

Helps team get point Kuemper made 23 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Predators on Saturday.
Impact The Kings were flat for the first two-and-a-half periods, and Kuemper kept things close until they woke up. But he caught out of the crease in OT, and Nick Blakenburg had an easy open net to get the winner. Kuemper and David Rittich are in a straight platoon this season; each netminder has started 16 games. But Kuemper's .911 save percentage is significantly better than Rittich's .890, even with similar GAAs (2.40 Kuemper vs 2.49 Rittich). The Kings are a strong team, so Kuemper is going to deliver for you whenever he's in net.

Slated to start Tuesday Kuemper will defend the road net against the Islanders on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
Impact Kuemper is coming off a 22-save performance in Saturday's 4-1 win over Minnesota. He has a 5-2-3 record with one shutout, a 2.50 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 11 appearances this season.

Triumphant in return to action Kuemper stopped 22 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Wild.
Impact The Kings had a couple of empty-net goals to make it look easier than it was. Kuemper worked with a thin lead for much of the game, but he was up to the task to quiet one of the hottest teams in the league -- the Wild had won five in a row prior to this contest. This was Kuemper's first action since Nov. 13 due to an undisclosed injury that cost him seven contests before he served as backup Wednesday against the Stars. Kuemper is 5-2-3 with a 2.50 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 11 starts. The Kings may opt to alternate their goalies given Kuemper's injury woes and David Rittich's strong performance so far. They begin a seven-game road trip against the Islanders on Tuesday.

Starting against Wild Kuemper will start at home versus the Wild on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Impact Kuemper was activated from injured reserve and served as backup to David Rittich in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars. The 34-year-old Kuemper will now get his first game action since Nov. 13. He has gone 4-2-3 with a 2.65 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 10 outings this season, and the Wild are coming off a 5-1 win over the Ducks on Friday.
DECEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Activated off injured reserve Kuemper (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Kuemper hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 13 due to the injury. He has a 4-2-3 record, 2.65 GAA and .899 save percentage in 10 appearances in 2024-25. Goaltender Erik Portillo has been reassigned to AHL Ontario in a correspounding move. David Rittich, who started in six of LA's seven games during Kuemper's absence, might continue to get the majority of the Kings' starts, but his workload will decrease now that Kuemper is available.
