Coyotes’ Darcy Kuemper: Quiets Knights at home
Darcy Kuemper saved 29 of 31 shots in Friday’s 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.Kuemper was rocked for eight goals over two games in Vegas, but head coach Rick Tocchet went right back to him to great reward Friday. With Antti Raanta (undisclosed) on injured reserve, the crease is Kuemper’s going forward. The 30-year-old goalie still hasn’t hit his top level in 2020-21, but getting half of the Arizona Coyotes’ games against Vegas out of the way in the first week bodes well for Kuemper’s ratios in the near future.

Coyotes’ Darcy Kuemper: Lit up for five goals
Darcy Kuemper gave up five goals on 29 shots in Wednesday’s 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.Three of the Golden Knights’ five goals came from defensemen, as the Arizona Coyotes were hemmed into their own zone and beat on rushes regularly in the contest. That left little for Kuemper to do to turn things around as he suffered his third loss (0-2-1) this season. Antti Raanta was a healthy scratch Wednesday — the guaranteed rest could make him the favorite to start Friday’s home game against the Golden Knights after Kuemper’s struggled in his last two outings.

Coyotes’ Darcy Kuemper: Can’t fend off Vegas
Darcy Kuemper allowed three goals on 27 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights on Monday. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.Kuemper was perfect through 37 minutes before Max Pacioretty tallied late in the second period. The Golden Knights would add two more against Kuemper, including an unlucky bounce on the game-winner. It’s hard to pin the loss on the 30-year-old goalie given some bad puck luck. He’s allowed three goals in each of his two starts this year, and Antti Raanta got a win in his only start so far — the latter may be in line for the second of four straight games against the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

Darcy Kuemper stopped 32 of 35 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks on Thursday.Kuemper had no answer for the Sharks’ second line of Evander Kane, Tomas Hertl and John Leonard, but he still kept the Arizona Coyotes in the contest. Phil Kessel was able to force overtime, but Kuemper allowed both Ryan Donato and Logan Couture to score in the shootout to take the loss. The 30-year-old goalie had sparkling ratios last year — a 2.22 GAA and a .928 save percentage — which made him a popular pick as a top-10 goalie. It’s unclear if Kuemper or Antti Raanta will get Saturday’s start versus these same Sharks.
