Darcy Kuemper | Fantasy Outlook

Kuemper looks to secure Kings' first victory against Bruins at Crypto.com Arena

Darcy Kuemper heads into tonight’s matchup at Crypto.com Arena serving as the Kings' primary 1A starter, looking to snap Los Angeles' frustrating 0-3-2 winless skid against a sharp 5-2-0 Boston Bruins team. The veteran netminder has posted a respectable 2.33 GAA despite an .896 save percentage across his first three starts of the year, though fantasy managers have grown hesitant, dropping his start percentage down to 15%. Los Angeles enters as a slight home favorite in an average scoring environment, setting up an intriguing cross-conference goaltending battle opposite Jeremy Swayman (unconfirmed) as the Kings search for their first victory of the season.

Our daily projection expects Kuemper to handle moderate volume with roughly ~24 saves tonight, though our models lean toward a challenging outing for his ratios, anticipating a 3.43 GAA and an .876 save percentage against Boston’s efficient scoring attack. Even with those ratio concerns, playing as home favorites provides him with a solid win chance to finally break into the win column. Looking at the weekly picture, this represents the Kings' second and final contest of the fantasy week, making tonight his last chance to deliver weekly volume. Given the tough opponent and ratio volatility, today’s action: Cautious Start.
