Kuemper is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis:
After going with backup Niklas Backstrom on Monday night, coach Mike Yeo will turn the net back over to Kuemper, who seems to have put his early-November swoon behind him. Since being pulled from a Nov. 13 outing against the Sabres after allowing goals on the first two shots he faced, he's won in three of his four appearances, yielding only five goals during that time.
