He attempted to stop a shot by the Wild&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hartmry01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Ryan Hartman<\/strong><\/a> using a butterfly move and must have stretched a muscle causing the injury. It&#8217;s hoped that it isn&#8217;t a groin injury, but with the team stating he is week-to-week it seems somewhat severe.<\/p>\n<p>Kuemper had been playing well this season with a 15-8-2 record. His .929 save percentage along with 2.17 goals against average rank him fourth in the NHL. He carries a career 95-69-29 record. His career save percentage is .918, and he has a 2.46 goal against average. He also has 18 career shutouts to add to his resume.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means For the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Obviously when a team loses their starting goalie they can expect their level of play to decrease. That&#8217;s not quite true for the Coyotes, who also have a goalie by the name of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/r\/raantan01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Antti Raanta<\/strong><\/a> who has been a starter in his career. He has a 5-5-2 record this season with a .919 save percentage and a 2.72 goals against average. He also has one shutout to his credit.<\/p>\n<p>While the Arizona club may miss Kuemper, they can be assured that Raanta can skillfully fill the void. The extent of Kuemper&#8217;s injury has not been disclosed yet, but Raanta is up for the challenge. The team recently recalled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hillad01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Adin Hill<\/strong> <\/a>from the AHL Tucson Roadrunners, so he will be Raanta&#8217;s backup.<\/p>\n<p>The Coyotes are fighting for first place in the Pacific Division, tied with the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/knights\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> with 44 points.
