Kuemper stopped 26 of 29 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.
Kuemper can't be blamed too much for the defeat -- the second goal was a brilliant backhander from Nils Hoglander and the game-winner came on a Capitals turnover that J.T. Miller converted. Nonetheless, Kuemper dropped to 0-2-1 with 13 goals allowed over his last four appearances. The 33-year-old is 11-12-3 with a 3.17 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 27 outings overall. Kuemper and Charlie Lindgren have been alternating starts coming out of the All-Star break, though neither is appealing in weekly formats with the Capitals scheduled for just two games in the next seven days.
