Kuemper stopped 39 of 40 shots in a 2-1 shootout win over the Kings on Tuesday. It was his first NHL win of the season and a very strong performance against a quality team. He will start tonight against a Predators team who have lost five of their last six.

Edler will miss his 16th straight game with a knee injury that he suffered on December 3. He has been skating consistently with the Canucks and is nearing a return, but it won't be tonight. There is a good chance he is back for the Canucks' next game on Monday in Los Angeles.

Edler has missed five weeks with a knee injury, but appears close to returning to the lineup. The Canucks are off tonight, but are back in action tomorrow. Edler definitely seems like a possibility for Friday's game. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.

Kuemper has started one game and has one relief effort this season, in those two games he is 0-1-0 with a 6.13 GAA and .625 SV%… Yep. In the AHL he is 7-10-0 with a 2.47 GAA and .929 SV%. Obviously it is a small sample size for his NHL performances this season, but the matchup with the Kings is an ugly one.

Edler has been out since December 3, but his presence at the morning skate suggests that he could return this evening. However it seems very unlikely that he will play tonight, Edler appears to be getting close to returning to the blueline. He has had a bad year posting three goals and six assists with a minus-12 rating in 27 games.

Kuemper will serve as Niklas Backstrom's backup tonight but is not expected to stay with the team long. He was recalled because Josh Harding is out with the flu.

Edler will miss his 11th consecutive game today after suffering a knee injury on December 3. Edler has had a disappointing season recording just nine points (3G / 6A) with a minus-12 rating in 27 games. He likely won't return for at least another 10 days.

Lewis has missed the last nine games with a lower-body injury and appears to be in vs. the Senators. Expect him to centre the fourth line.

Edler was injured in Tuesday's win over the Predators and will not play Friday. Andrew Alberts will suit up with Edler on the shelf. He has struggled this season posting just three goals and six assists with a minus-12 rating in 27 games.

It says "Probable" but that is not the case, we will update when the Wild confirm Harding or Kuemper. This is simply an heads up.

Kuemper allowed three goals on seven shots before being pulled on Tuesday.

Josh Harding started last night vs. Buffalo so it will be Kuemper who faces the Maple Leafs this evening. Tonight will be his fourth career start, he is 1-2-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .916 SV% in his previous three starts

Josh Harding started last night vs. Buffalo so it will probably be Kuemper who faces the Maple Leafs this evening. Tonight would be his fourth career start, he is 1-2-0 with a 2.08 GAA and .916 SV% in his previous three starts.

Niklas Backstrom is out with a knee injury so Kuemper gets called up to backup Josh Harding. The WIld have back-to-back games tonight and tomorrow, so Kuemper could get the start tomorrow.

Edler will be eligible to return next Saturday in Pittsburgh.

At approximately 19:46 of the second period, Edler collied with Sharks forward Tomas Hertl near the Vancouver bench, resulting in Hertl losing his helmet. There was no penalty called on the play and Hertl skated a regular shift in the third period.

Kuemper appeared in two preseason games with the Wild this year and stopped all 18 shots faced in 47:12 of action. The 23-year-old went 1-2-0 with a 2.08 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .916 save percentage (SV%)in six regular season games (three starts) with Minnesota last season.

Kuemper has been recalled because goaltender Niklas Backstrom left warmups in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with a lower-body injury. Kuemper went 1-2-0 with a 2.08 goals-against-average (GAA) and a .916 save percentage (SV%) in six games (three starts) with Minnesota this season.

Edler will be a healthy scratch tonight. The Canucks are in the playoffs so they are resting their star players.
