Goalie Start
Darcy Kuemper will make his third career start tonight at Anaheim #mnwild #ducks
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.
Goalie Start
Kuemper could start tonight for the Wild.
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.

Kopitar pronounced himself good to go for Tuesday night’s game at Colorado.
Kopitar was expected to miss 2-4 weeks when he first strained his knee.... Forget that! He only missed the Kings season opener. This is fantastic news for people who took Kopitar because you probably got him later than you should have because of the injury. Kopitar is a must-start in all formats.
Edler deal in Vancouver: $30 M over 6 years
Edler had his best season of his career last year. He is poised to continue his strong play this season. It wouldn't be outlandish to expect 30 points out of Edler in this season.
Sutter ruled out Kopitar for Saturday.
No real surprise here. Kopitar was expected to miss the start of the season. Monitor his status going forward and get him in your lineup as soon as he is ready to go.

Kopitar continues to progress faster than expected. He could return to the Kings soon. He's an elite talent, if you still have your draft get him before he falls.

Kopitar was originally expected to miss 2-4 weeks, but looks like he's going to be back sooner than expected. Good news for owners who got Kopitar much later than they should have. If you still have a draft... Don't let him drop too far.
