Kuemper has had an up-and-down 2025-26 season, yet to rediscover the form that earned him a Vezina finalist nomination last season, but has shown improvement lately. The 35-year-old Kuemper has been terrific in his last two games (2-0-0), posting a 1.00 GAA and .964 SV%. He has a 2.52 GAA and 905 SV% in 11 games this season (5-3-3). The Kings enter Tuesday's contest as slight -106 road favorites against a Montreal Canadiens team with points in six straight games (4-0-2).
