Kuemper projected as Kings 1A netminder with mid-round fantasy utility
Darcy Kuemper enters the season as the Los Angeles Kings' primary starter within a tandem structure alongside Anton Forsberg. Entering his age-36 campaign, Kuemper maintains a firm grip on the 1A role. Our models project him to handle a 50-game workload, giving fantasy managers reliable baseline volume throughout the year.
Our projections forecast 19 wins, a 2.78 GAA, a .891 save percentage, and 3 shutouts with roughly 1,300 saves. Kuemper experienced a noticeable statistical dip last season compared to his stellar 2024 showing (33 wins, .917 save percentage), though the team's defensive system should help insulate his floor.
Carrying an ADP around pick 160, Kuemper is properly valued as a mid-to-late-round No. 2 or priority No. 3 fantasy goaltender. While age and timeshare limits his ceiling, the guaranteed starts make him a practical target for managers prioritizing safe workload without paying early-round draft capital.
