Kuemper allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) for his third-straight loss as he was defeated by Carolina in his previous start. The 32-year-old has played well despite his losing record in his first season in Washington, with his 16-17-4 record, 2.67 GAA and .914 SV%. He will face the surprisingly hot Detroit Red Wings, who just snapped a five-game winning streak with a 4-2 loss vs. Seattle last game.
