Contrary to a previous report, Kuemper (illness) won't start against the Kings on Tuesday, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.
Kuemper became ill prior to Tuesday's game, and Adin Hill will start in his place. Per Craig Morgan of NHL.com, Kuemper will be available as a backup, but it'd be tough for him to play through this illness. The 27-year-old backstop will have his next chance to start Thursday against the Predators.
