Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Set to start Thursday

Kuemper will protect the home goal versus the Blackhawks on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Kuemper's continued to play well recently, but he's 1-2-2 with 11 goals allowed over his last five games. He's maintained a .918 save percentage in that span. The Blackhawks have scored 14 goals over their last four contests and could present a bit of a challenge.
