Impact Kuemper is 5-1-0 with just seven goals allowed on 164 shots over his last six starts. He has a 1.16 GAA and a .957 save percentage in that span. Given the Kraken often have trouble with consistency on offense, this is a strong matchup for Kuemper from a fantasy perspective.

No margin for error in Edmonton Kuemper stopped 29 shots in Monday's 1-0 loss to the Oilers.

Impact The veteran netminder was nearly perfect, but nearly wasn't good enough on a night when the Kings couldn't solve Stuart Skinner. The lone goal Kuemper allowed came late in the second period -- after denying Darnell Nurse from in close while the teams were skating 4-on-4, the rebound went straight to Connor McDavid, who made no mistake. It was Kuemper's first regulation loss since returning in early December from an undisclosed injury, and over his last 11 appearances he's gone 8-1-2 with a dazzling 1.63 GAA and .940 save percentage.

Wins close game Kuemper stopped 18 of 19 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact Kuemper picked up his fourth straight win, and it was a return to form for the Kings' often stingy defense. The Jets' goal was a Mark Scheifele power-play tally midway through the third period. Kuemper has allowed just five goals during his winning streak. He improved to 12-2-5 with a 2.16 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 20 starts this season. The Kings complete their back-to-back set in Calgary on Saturday, and it'll likely be David Rittich in goal against one of his former teams.

In goal Friday Kuemper will start in goal on the road versus the Jets on Friday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Kuemper hasn't played since Saturday because the Kings' game against Calgary was postponed Wednesday due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The 34-year-old Kuemper gets the first half of a back-to-back Friday, and he comes into the game on a three-game winning streak in which he has allowed just four goals. The Jets are a tough opponent, but they've won just three of their last six games while scoring 19 times in that span.

Wednesday's game postponed Kuemper and the Kings won't face Calgary on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to wildfires.

Impact With concerns regarding health and safety, the NHL made the decision to postpone this game to a future date. The Kings head out on a five-game road trip starting Friday versus Winnipeg, so there shouldn't be any additional impacts on Los Angeles' schedule moving forward.
