Coyotes' Kuemper out week-to-week with lower-body injury

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper is out week-to-week with a lower-body injured suffered Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild, the team announced Friday.

Kuemper had been enjoying a Vezina-caliber season, ranking in the top five in the league for wins (15), save percentage (.929), goals-against average (2.17), and goals saved above average (14.75).

Antti Raanta, who owns a .919 save percentage and a 2.72 goals-against average in 13 games, is expected to get the bulk of the starts in Kuemper's absence. Adin Hill was also recalled from the AHL to serve as Raanta's backup.
