Darcy Kuemper got his first shot as a starting goalie last year with the Arizona Coyotes and he did not disappoint. In the 55 games that Kuemper appeared in, the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native went 27-20-8 with five shutouts, a 2.33 goals against average and a .926 save percentage - all career-highs.
After putting up impressive numbers while filling in for Antti Raanta, it was kind of hard for the team to put him back on the bench and he’s picking up where he left off through 12 games this year.
Since Kuemper is now the starting goalie in Arizona, the 29-year-old got some new masks and equipment designed for this season and his latest mask is absolutely beautiful.
The Coyotes made every hockey fan happy when they announced they were bringing back the Kachina jerseys and they made even more hockey fans happier by announcing they were sticking with them moving forward. So, as a result, it was only fitting for Kuemper to get a new mask to fit the threads and join his previous one in his locker.
Through 12 games this season Kuemper owns a 7-5 record to go with one shutout, a 2.00 goals against average and a .930 save percentage.
