Kuemper hadn't started a game since March 1.
With B2B games next weekend Wild want two goalies and Matt Hackett hasn't played in awhile. Darcy Kuemper was recalled to take his place and will likely get a start on either Friday or Saturday of next week.
Kuemper won his last start but that was way back on February 17. He has a solid 2.02 GAA and .934 SV% in his two starts. He has a tough matchup tonight vs a good Ducks team.
Niklas Backstrom started last night so Kuemper could start tonight with Josh Harding still on IR. The Wild didn't have a morning skate today so the starter won't be confirmed until closer to game-time.
With Niklas Backstrom playing last night and Josh Harding not feeling great the last couple of days it is expected that Kuemper will make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Canucks. Kuemper is 10-6-0 with a 1.79 GAA and .938 SV% in the AHL this season, but the Canucks are not an easy team to make your NHL debut against.

Kuemper holds no fantasy hockey value while in the minors.
