Kuemper has appeared in one game for Minnesota this season, he allowed three goals on seven shots (5.63 GAA / .571 SV%) in a loss. He is 3-7-0 with a 2.97 GAA and .908 SV% with Iowa this season.
Perry was a gametime decision, but will be in the lineup. This is good news for the Ducks who will be without Ryan Getzlaf. Perry is fourth in the NHL with 11 goals and sixth with 22 points.
Ryan Getzlaf missed the last two games and could be out again tonight, so if Perry can't go the Ducks will be without their two leading scorers. Consider him a game-time decision.
Zuccarello has struggled, recording no points in seven games.
Kuemper allowed three goals on seven shots before being pulled on Tuesday.
Josh Harding started last night vs. Buffalo so it will be Kuemper who faces the Maple Leafs this evening. Tonight will be his fourth career start, he is 1-2-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .916 SV% in his previous three starts
Josh Harding started last night vs. Buffalo so it will probably be Kuemper who faces the Maple Leafs this evening. Tonight would be his fourth career start, he is 1-2-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .916 SV% in his previous three starts.
Niklas Backstrom is out with a knee injury so Kuemper gets called up to backup Josh Harding. The WIld have back-to-back games tonight and tomorrow, so Kuemper could get the start tomorrow.
Edler will be eligible to return next Saturday in Pittsburgh.
At approximately 19:46 of the second period, Edler collied with Sharks forward Tomas Hertl near the Vancouver bench, resulting in Hertl losing his helmet. There was no penalty called on the play and Hertl skated a regular shift in the third period.
Kuemper appeared in two preseason games with the Wild this year and stopped all 18 shots faced in 47:12 of action. The 23-year-old went 1-2-0 with a 2.08 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .916 save percentage (SV%)in six regular season games (three starts) with Minnesota last season.
Laughton, 19, made the team out of training camp for a second consecutive season, but unlike last season, when he played five games in the NHL before going back to juniors, he was a healthy scratch for the season opener. “Scott was sent back to Oshawa today,” said general manager Paul Holmgren. “We felt this was the right thing to do for Scott and for the Flyers as it relates to his development.”
Laughton can remain with the Flyers for nine games because of his junior eligibility and then the club has to make a decision to either keep him or return him to Oshawa. If Laughton remains, his NHL contract would kick in immediately.
The right winger took a slash during Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Columbus and was unable to finish the game. X-rays revealed the break, coach Ron Rolston said today. It hasn't been determined whether Armia will need surgery or if the injury will heal on its own.
Kuemper has been recalled because goaltender Niklas Backstrom left warmups in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with a lower-body injury. Kuemper went 1-2-0 with a 2.08 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .916 save percentage (SV%) in six games (three starts) with Minnesota this season.
Edler will be a healthy scratch tonight. The Canucks are in the playoffs so they are resting their star players.
