Edler was a late scratch on Monday after taking a puck to the face in warmups.
Goalie Start
Kuemper will start Monday vs. the Canucks.
Kuemper gets the nod Monday at home against the winless Vancouver Canucks. After struggling in an opening night loss, the 11-year veteran stood on his head Saturday vs Montreal, stopping 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) on way to his first win as a member of the Capitals. He will look to continue his early run of success as he improves on his .902 SV% in his third start of the season.
Goalie Start
Kuemper will start Saturday vs. the Canadiens.
Kuemper will be looking to bounce back in his second start of 2022-23 after allowing four goals on 29 shots in an opening-night loss. The winless Capitals (0-2-0) will be hoping to get their first point of the early season off the back of their $6 Million AAV offseason signing.
Line Change
Jones will draw into the Blackhawks lineup on Thursday.
Line Change
Clarke will make his NHL debut on Thursday.
Clarke was the No.8 overall pick in 2021 and registered 59 points (11G / 48A) in 55 OHL games in 2022. Clarke, who will replace Sean Durzi and skate with Alex Edler, had two assists in four pre-season games.
Goalie Start
Kuemper will start the Capitals' season opener vs. the Bruins.
Darcy Kuemper will make his Capitals debut Wednesday as he leads Washington between the pipes at home against Boston. Fresh off a Stanley Cup victory in 2021-22, Kuemper joins Washington after finishing fourth in league Wins (37), fifth in SV% (.921), 11th in GAA (2.54) and fourth in Shutouts (5).
Edmundson (back) remains out indefinitely.
Edmundson's rehab for his lower-back injury is progressing, but there's still no timeline for his return to the Canadiens lineup. Edmundson skated before Monday's practice but has yet to join his teammates for a team session.
Edmundson is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.
Edmundson's injury is related to the back problems he had during the 2021-22 season. According to the Canadiens' head coach Martin St. Louis, Edmundson is considered out indefinitely because they "don't have enough details yet."
The Blackhawks have re-signed Caleb Jones to a one-year, $1.35 million contract.
The Bruins have re-signed Jack Studnicka to a two-year contract.
The Jets have re-signed Jeff Malott to a two-year, two-way contract.
The Ducks have signed Glenn Gawdin to a two-year deal worth $1.525 million ($762.5K AAV).
Gawdin was originally a fourth-round pick of the Blues in 2015 but he turned pro with the Flames in 2019. He's only appeared in nine NHL games to-date but had a solid 2022 season in the AHL, scoring 15 goals with 35 assists (50 points) in 62 games with Stockton. The one-way contract suggests he could make the NHL roster to open 2022-23.
The Flames have re-signed Trevor Lewis to a one-year, $800k contract.
The Jets have signed David Rittich to a one-year deal worth $900K.
The Kings have signed Pheonix Copley to a one-year, $825k contract.
The Kings have signed Alexander Edler to a one-year, $750k contract extension.
The Kings have signed Adrian Kempe to a four-year, $22 million contract extension.
The Kings have signed Kevin Fiala to a seven-year, $55.125 million contract extension.
The Kings acquired Fiala from the Wild on Wednesday and signed him to a massive seven-year extension, which represents a $2.775M AAV raise for the Swiss winger. Fiala will play a huge role in Los Angeles, next to either Anze Kopitar or Phillip Danault, both spots could allow him to build off of his career-best 2022 season.
The Kings have acquired Kevin Fiala from the Wild for a 2022 1st round draft pick and the rights to Brock Faber.
Fiala was set to become an RFA and the Wild likely weren't going to have the cap-space to re-sign him. They moved him and added a second first-round pick in 2022 and Brock Faber, who was a second-round pick (No.45 overall) in 2020. For Fiala, he heads to Los Angeles, where he'll likely play a key top-6 role next to either Anze Kopitar or Phillip Danault. Fiala is coming off of the best season of his career, scoring 33 goals with 52 assists (85 points) in 82 games.
