Kuemper will start on Wednesday in Edmonton.

Kuemper has not played since February 26th, but after the Capitals suffered a 3-0 loss to the Winnipeg Jets in their last outing, he will return to the crease on Wednesday. Despite his lack of activity between the pipes, Kuemper is riding a two-game winning streak, including saving 18 of 21 shots (.857 SV%) in his last game, a 6-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators. The Capitals enter action as +260 road underdogs against the Edmonton Oilers.

Jeannot (upper body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday vs. New York but is trending in the right direction.

Jeannot was activated off Injured Reserve in February and returned to the lineup on February 13th but was limited to only 5:44 time-on-ice before re-aggravating his lower-body injury. He has played in only one game since January 6th. The 26-year-old bruising winger has filled his bottom-six role well this season with 12 points (6G/6A), 52 SOG, 61 PIMs, and a -11 plus/minus in 41 games played before the injury.

Rittich will start on Monday vs. the New York Islanders.

Rittich has taken a backseat to Cam Talbot recently, serving as his backup in six straight, but will return to the crease on Monday in the Kings' first game since a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Saturday. Rittich has played well when called upon this season, posting a 2.32 GAA and .914 SV% in 18 games (9-4-3) but allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings enter action as -148 home favourites against the New York Islanders.

Kuemper (illness) was originally scheduled to start on Thursday but missed morning skate and is now a game-time decision.

Kuemper was not at the morning skate on Thursday due to an illness but could still be an option between the pipes in the evening against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kuemper last played on February 26th and saved 18 of 21 shots (.857 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.

The Maple Leafs have acquired Joel Edmundson from the Capitals for a 2024 third-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick.

Edmundson will join the Maple Leafs, likely as a bottom-pairing depth defenseman, as they attempt to bolster their blueline ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The 30-year-old Edmundson had six points (1G / 5A), 58 hits, and 49 blocks in 44 games with the Washington Capitals this season.

The Kings signed Moverare to a two-year contract worth an AAV of $0.775M through the 2025-26 season.

The timing is a bit bizarre considering Moverare was just placed on waivers earlier today. Moverare has played 10 games with the Kings this season, being held off the scoresheet, but has spent most of the 2023-24 Campaign with the Ontario Reign (AHL), posting 18 points (2G / 16A) in 34 contests.
