Kuemper was already ruled out for the rest of the Coyotes' current road trip and is now officially week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Expect him to miss at least a couple of weeks, which leaves the Coyotes with a goaltending tandem of Antti Raanta and Adin Hill.

There is a fear that Kuemper could be out for up to one month, but his timetable will become more clear after he is re-evaluated back in Arizona. Kuemper at the very least is expected to miss the next six games of the Coyotes' road-trip, turning the goaltending duties over to Antti Raanta and Adin Hill.
