Game Notes |
LA •Darcy Kuemper (1-0-2, 3.59 GAA, .889 Sv%) will likely start for the Kings •Kuemper was nearly perfect through his first 2 games in a Kings uniform, going 1-0-1 with a 1.47 GAA and .949 Sv%. That all came crumbling down when he allowed 8 goals in a wild 7-8 overtime loss to the sens on Monday afternoon. We'll see if LA goes back with him or gives 32-year old back-up David Rittich his first start this season •One of LA's most notable offseason moves this year wasn't a transaction, but the announcement that Quinton Byfield will move permanently to the centre position after spending most of his first 3 seasons in the NHL on the wing. So far he has just 2 assists in 3 games but the Kings expect big things from him this season |
TOR •Anthony Stolarz (1-1-0, 1.54 GAA, .940 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs •Tavares returned to the ice for practice on Tuesday but Nylander unfortunately took his place in the sick bay as it was announced he sat out due to an illness. His status for Wednesday's game is obviously up in the air as it will depend how he's feeling tomorrow •Worth noting that at practice on Tuesday Ekman-Larsson kept his position on PP1 over Rielly, a move that was originally made midway through Saturday's game. The Leafs have so far gone 0-for-9 on the powerplay this season |
