Darcy may be back between the pipes tonight, despite Bryz having a strong showing and owns respectable numbers against LA. Kuemper is 1-0-0 with a 0.99 GAA and a .962 SV% in two games (one start). The Kings have reached the conference finals the last two season and won the cup two years ago are built for playoff hockey.
