Kuemper (lower-body) suffered a setback in the morning skate and will not be available on Monday.

Kuemper was supposed to return to the Coyotes net on Monday but suffered an injury in the morning skate. There is no word on how long Kuemper is expected to be sidelined this time around but luckily Antti Raanta is ready to go in Montreal.

Kuemper (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Monday.

Kuemper has been out since December 19th with a lower-body injury but was a full participant in Sunday’s practice and could be back in the crease on Monday. Kuemper is a game-time decision so monitor his status if the Coyotes have a morning skate if not there should be an update on his status around 5:00 PM ET.

Ceci (ankle) has been placed on IR and will be re-evaluated in one month.

Ceci suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday and will miss at least one month. He'll go on IR and be re-evaluated at that time and the Maple Leafs will update his status again. In the meantime, Timothy Liljegren was recalled from the Marlies to take Ceci's spot on the roster.

Doughty (undisclosed) is not expected to play on Wednesday.

Doughty missed Monday's practice and Wednesday's optional morning skate, suggesting he won't be available for tonight's game vs. the Lightning. Derek Forbort is also unlikely to play, so look for Sean Walker and Alec Martinez to play massive minutes for the Kings.

Kuemper (lower-body) practiced on Tuesday and is "getting better every day."

Kuemper, who has missed the last 14 games, will miss Wednesday's game in Anaheim but head coach Rich Tocchet is encouraged by his progress. Tocchet said that the break "really helped with the rehab" and that Kuemper is nearing a return with each practice. Antti Raanta will continue to get the bulk of the starts but it looks like Kuemper will be back in the fold very soon.

Armia (upper-body) not expected to play Wednesday; but is nearing a return.

Armia has been out since December 23rd but was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and head coach Claude Julien said he's close to returning. Julien added that he's "very doubtful" for Wednesday which makes him at least questionable for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.
