Kuemper allowed three goals on 30 shots (.900 SV%) for his third loss in five games as he was beaten by Carolina in his previous start. The 32-year-old may have a near .500 record with his 16-15-4 line but has played very well most nights resulting in a 2.59 GAA and .915 SV%. He takes on the Florida Panthers, who lost their previous game 6-2 vs. St. Louis but are 1st in the NHL in shots per game (36.1).
Holden has a goal, nine assists, 52 SOG, 10 PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through 47 games played but has been placed on the injured reserve Thursday with an upper-body injury. The 35-year-old has failed to reach 80 games played in his last seven seasons.
Korpisalo allowed three goals on 41 shots (.927 SV%) for his fourth loss in five starts as he was downed 3-0 by the Toronto Maple Leafs' last start. The 28-year-old has been decent when called upon for the league's worst team, with his 8-10-3 record, 3.33 GAA and .907 SV%. He will take on the Winnipeg Jets, who have won their last three games and have the league's 15th best powerplay (22.1%).
Raanta stopped 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) for his ninth win in 10 starts as he beat the Buffalo Sabres his previous time out. The 33-year-old backup has been incredibly hard to beat this season, as proven by his 13-2-3 record, 2.46 GAA and .902 SV%. He takes on the Montreal Canadiens, who have surprisingly won their last three games after a 4-0 win over Chicago last game.
