Los Angeles Kings’ Darcy Kuemper Suffers Injury in Recent Game

Darcy Kuemper, the goaltender for the Los Angeles Kings, left a recent game against the Colorado Avalanche due to an injury. This incident occurred on Wednesday, November 13, during a challenging matchup where Kuemper was set to start on the road against a strong Avalanche team.

Kuemper has had a mixed start to the 2024-25 season, with a record of 4-2-3, a goals-against average (GAA) of 2.65, and a save percentage of .899 over nine appearances. Despite losing his last two starts, he has received limited goal support from his team, with only three goals scored in those games while he allowed just five markers.

The injury is a significant concern for the Kings, as Kuemper is a key player and has been instrumental in their performance this season. The specifics of the injury and the expected duration of his absence have not been detailed yet, but it is likely to impact the team’s lineup and strategy in upcoming games.

Kuemper is currently in the second year of a five-year, $26.25 million contract with the Kings, which he signed on July 13, 2022. His contract includes a cap hit of $5.25 million per season and expires in 2027.
