Kuemper is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Kuemper went down without contact and was forced to leave late in Thursday's loss to the Wild and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. This is a huge blow for the Coyotes but Antti Raanta is a more than capable starter who will carry the water for the Coyotes moving forward. Don't expect to see Kuemper until early-January at the absolute earliest.

Kuemper will start Thursday vs. the Wild.

Kuemper stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Coyotes 3-2 win in San Jose on Tuesday. Kuemper has allowed two goals in three straight games and is 5-1-0 with a 1.98 GAA and .935 SV% in his last six starts. Tonight he faces the team that drafted him for the second time this season--he allowed four goals on 24 shots in 4-3 loss in the first meeting (Nov.9).

Kuemper will start Thursday vs. the Blackhawks.

Kuemper allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Coyotes win in Chicago on Sunday. Kuemper has won four of his last five starts (4-0-1) while posting a 1.90 GAA and .939 SV%. The 29-year-old has gone 5-4-1 with a 1.99 GAA, .938 SV% and two shutouts on home-ice and gets set to face the Blackhawks again tonight.

Kuemper will start Tuesday in Columbus.

Kuemper allowed one goal on 38 shots in the Coyotes loss in Vegas on Friday. Antti Raanta started Saturday but they'll come back to Kuemper in Columbus. November was another great month for Kuemper, who was 5-3-2 with a 2.04 GAA, .937 SV% and two shutouts in 10 games. Kuemper leads the NHL in GAA (1.97) and SV% (.935) so you can't bench him regardless of the matchup.

Edler is doubtful for Sunday's game due to an upper-body injury.

Edler was forced to leave Saturday's win in Edmonton with an upper-body injury and is not expected to play in the second-half of their home-and-home on Sunday. With Edler out, look for Tyler Myers and Quinn Hughes to play a lot more on Sunday and for Troy Stecher to see some power-play time.

Dumoulin underwent surgery to repair lacerated tendons in his left ankle and is expected to miss at least eight weeks.

Dumoulin had multiple tendons in his ankle lacerated in Saturday's loss to St. Louis and is expected to miss at least two months after undergoing surgery on Sunday morning. Injuries have been a huge issue for the Penguins this season but they've managed to stay afloat and will likely take the Dumoulin injury in-stride as well. He logged big minutes on their blueline, so someone like Marcus Pettersson is likely going to be tasked with taking on a larger role moving forward.

Kuemper will start Wednesday because Antti Raanta is dealing with an illness.

Antti Raanta was scheduled to start tonight's game but is sick, so Kuemper will take over between the pipes. He has surprisingly lost two straight while allowing three goals in each game, but has a bounce-back matchup on tap with the Ducks in town. He allowed two goals on 29 shots in a 2-1 loss in Anaheim in the season opener.
