Kuemper was the first goalie off of the ice at the Avalanche morning skate.
The Wild have placed Mats Zuccarello on the COVID-19 reserve list.
Zuccarello leads the Wild with seven points (3G / 4A) in six games but will likely miss Thursday's game in Seattle. Minnesota recalled Kyle Rau, Connor Dewar and Jon Lizotte from the AHL to replace Zuccarello and Rem Pitlick.
Doughty is expected to miss eight weeks with a tibial plateau contusion.
Doughty was hurt in a knee-on-knee collision in Dallas last Friday and will miss at least two months. The Kings announced on Wednesday that Doughty could be back on the ice in six weeks but likely won't play until late December. With Sean Walker also out, Matt Roy has taken over as the PP1 quarterback for the Kings.

The Blackhawks signed Erik Gustafsson to a one-year deal worth $800K.
With both Wyatt Kalynuk and Caleb Jones going down with injuries late in training camp, Gustafsson has been signed to play on the third pair and second power-play unit early the season. After a breakout 60-point (17G / 43A) season in 2019, Gustafsson has struggled to find a stable home. In 95 games since, Gustafsson has tallied just nine goals and 34 assists (41 points) with the Blackhawks, Flames, Flyers and Canadiens.
