Wild's Darcy Kuemper: Draws starting nod Sunday

Kuemper will make his 10th start of the season Sunday against the Predators.

Analysis:

Although Kuemper has allowed four goals in each of his last three starts, it's worth noting that he faced a whopping 109 shots in those games and still managed to come away with two wins. This perhaps teaches us an important lesson about the Wild -- even if the defense is off, the offense has often come to the rescue this season.. This could spell good news for the 26-year-old, who will face a Nashville squad Sunday that ranks seventh in the league with 31 shots per game.
