7 years agoArizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper was named the first star on Sunday, following a 27-save shutout against the Vancouver Canucks. It's his first shutout as a Coyote and his fourth overall this season, with his previous one bizarrely coming against Arizona on Feb 2. Kuemper bounced back superbly after allowing five goals in a 5-2 loss on Saturday to the Avalanche, and the Coyotes look set to ride him for a while. Antti Raanta (lower body) was expected to return over the weekend, but he didn't, and with Kuemper full of confidence, it would be wrong if head coach Rick Tocchet would not use him. That means Kuemper will get to show the Kings what they're missing on Tuesday.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
