Doughty (upper-body) is day-to-day and questionable to play Thursday.

Doughty was forced to leave Tuesday's game vs. the Sharks after being hit in the chest by a Brent Burns shot. Doughty missed Wednesday's practice and the Kings called him day-to-day. They added that they hope he'll be back on the ice on Thursday, so there seems like a chance that he'll play in the rematch vs. the Sharks.

Armia (concussion) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Armia was on the ice for the Canadiens morning skate and left with the rest of the regulars. which is a good sign that he'll be available tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. The Canadiens would not commit to him playing, so consider him a game-time decision. The way Montreal has been rolling, it's difficult to project who he would replace.

Joel Armia
Kuemper will start Tuesday in St. Louis.

Kuemper made 14 saves on 16 shots in the Coyotes win over the Ducks last Thursday. It was a light night for Kuemper, who has given up two or less goals in four straight games and carries a 2.44 GAA and .910 SV% into Tuesday's game in St. Louis. The Blues have won three straight games and are averaging 3.44 goals per game, which ranks ninth in the NHL.

Foegele was removed from the COVID-19 reserve list on Friday.

Foegele was activated on Friday and was on the ice for an optional practice, suggesting that he could be available for Saturday's home game vs. the Stars. Foegele, who has yet to record a point in three games this season, will likely replace Steven Lorentz and skate on the third line with Jordan Staal if he's made available.

Fiala was suspended for three games for Boarding Los Angeles' Matt Roy on Thursday.

Fiala was assessed a game misconduct for the first period hit and was suspended for three games on Friday. This means that the Wild will be without one of their top offensive weapons for the first three games of their four-game set with the Avalanche--he's eligible to return for the finale next Friday.

Kuemper will start Tuesday vs. the Ducks.

Kuemper stopped 26 of 27 shots in the Coyotes' 1-0 loss to Vegas on Sunday. After a bit of a tough start to the season, Kuemper has played really well in his last two starts, stopping 55 of the 58 shots (.948 SV%) that he's faced. He'll be thankful that he doesn't have to face the Golden Knights, after four straight starts vs. Vegas. He draws a great matchup vs. a Ducks team that he was 1-1-0 while allowing just five goals on 63 shots (.921 SV%) against in 2020.
