Kuemper was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against the Islanders.
Kuemper picked up his first win of the 2026-27 campaign in Washington on Tuesday, and he'll draw a second consecutive start Thursday. Across his five appearances to begin the regular season, he's gone 1-3-1 with a 3.94 GAA and .869 save percentage.
