Goalie Start
Kuemper will start Saturday in San Jose.
Kuemper allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Coyotes win in Ottawa on January 22nd. Kuemper has been impressive recently, winning six of his last seven starts (6-0-1) while posting a 2.10 GAA, .925 SV% and one shutout. The 28-year-old has gone 2-0-0 with a 2.88 GAA and .910 SV% in two starts vs. the Sharks this season.
Kopitar (illness) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.
Kopitar skipped the Kings morning skate and is questionable for tonight’s game in Brooklyn. The Kings are already a bad team and would be extremely thin if Kopitar can’t play. Monitor his status as the Kings hit the ice for pre-game warmups.
The Maple Leafs have recalled Trevor Moore from Toronto (AHL).
With Andreas Johnsson out a concussion, Moore returns to the Maple Leafs. Moore had three points (1G / 2A) in six games with the Maple Leafs earlier this season and is tied for the Marlies team-lead in goals (19) in 32 games.
Goalie Start
Rittich will start Tuesday vs. the Hurricanes.
Rittich allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Flames win in Edmonton on Saturday. Rittich has gone 6-0-1 despite posting a 3.12 GAA and .896 SV% in his last seven starts—thanks to 4.57 GF/pg in goal-support over that time. The 26-year-old has yet to lose in regulation on home-ice, going 8-0-4 with a 3.34 GAA and .880 SV%.

Goalie Start
Kuemper will start Tuesday in Ottawa.
Kuemper stopped 24 of 26 shots in the Coyotes win in Toronto on Sunday. It was another strong outing for Kuemper, who is now 5-0-1 with a 2.12 GAA, .925 SV% and one shutout in his last six starts. The Coyotes and their No.1 netminder are hot right now and draw a strong road matchup vs. a Senators team that is 12-9-4 on home-ice and have the worst team GAA (3.76) in the league.

The Oilers assigned Caleb Jones to Bakersfield (AHL).
Jones played well during his time with the Oilers, scoring one goal and picking up five assists across 17 games. The Oilers are in need of blueline help and Oscar Klefbom isn’t ready to return yet, so the move doesn’t make a lot of sense at this time.

Rittich will start Saturday in Edmonton.
Edmundson will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
The Blues went with seven defensemen on Thursday but will go back to six on Saturday, so Edmundson will sit and Carl Gunnarsson will remain in the lineup.
Goalie Start
Kuemper will start Friday vs. the Penguins.
Kuemper allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Coyotes win over the Sharks on Wednesday. Kuemper shockingly extended his winning streak to four games, stopping 105 of the 113 shots (.929 SV%) that he has faced over that stretch. Tonight’s matchup will make it difficult to get to five in a row—he allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 4-0 loss in his first start vs. the Penguin (Nov.10).
Goalie Start
Kuemper will start Wednesday vs. the Sharks.
Kuemper allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Coyotes win in Edmonton on Saturday. Kuemper is riding a surprising three-game winning streak, stopping 79 of the 84 shots (.941 SV%) that he faced. He will look to stay hot against the Sharks, who he beat back in December, stopping 35 of the 38 shots he faced in a shootout victory.
Goalie Start
Rittich will start Wednesday vs. the Sabres.
Rittich allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Flames win over the Panthers last Friday. Rittich has won five in a row despite posting a 3.18 GAA and .902 SV%. Rittich hasn’t been as sharp as he was earlier this season but has been doing just enough to win games. Tonight he gets a Sabres team that has lost seven of their last nine (2-6-1).

Goalie Start
Copley will start Monday vs. the Blues.
Copley stopped 10 of 11 shots after replacing a banged up Braden Holtby in the Capitals 2-1 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday. With a back-to-back on Monday/Tuesday, Copley will give Holtby another day to recover by starting tonight vs. the Blues. The 26-year-old has gone 3-0-2 with a 2.28 GAA and .924 SV% on home-ice.
The Maple Leafs have signed Trevor Moore to a two-year extension worth $1.55M ($775K AAV).
Moore spent some time with the Maple Leafs while Zach Hyman was sidelined, collecting one goal and two assists in six games. Moore has impressed with the Marlies as well, tying for the team-lead in goals (19) and adding seven assists (26 points) in 30 games.
