Kuemper will likely start Wednesday vs. the Islanders.

Kuemper allowed four goals on 40 shots (.900 SV%) for his third loss in four starts as he was defeated by the Pittsburgh Penguins in his previous start. The 32-year-old has been solid all season but received little help around him, leading to a 21-23-5 record, 2.76 GAA and .911 SV%. He takes on the New York Islanders, who have won four of their last six but are 21st in the NHL in goals per game (2.99).
