DALLAS -- For three full days at the end of last month, Darcy Kuemper wasn't allowed to watch TV or look at his phone, a byproduct of concussion protocol after Kuemper took a shot off his mask in a practice.
They were, "boring days" Kuemper admitted, not allowed to look into the bright lights of the devices until he went 24 hours without a concussion symptom.
But after skating in two practices this week, Kuemper was set to return Saturday to the Wild's lineup, serving as the backup to starting goalie Devan Dubnyk two weeks after suffering the concussion.
