Early in the third period yesterday, play ended, and Darcy Kuemper headed to the back. Antti Raanta played the final 17:40, and the Arizona Coyotes beat the Colorado Avalanche, but questions remained what happened to Kuemper.
At the time, people were unsure what the issue was and how bad it would be. Video replays didn’t show Kuemper getting hit by a player, a stick, or a puck, so there was room for optimism.
Unfortunately, it looks like fans’ worst fears have come to pass. Craig Morgan today reported that Kuemper will be missing significant time.
