Kuemper was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jared Shafran of LAKingsInsider.com reports, signaling that he'll draw the road start against Dallas.

Kuemper has had some unlucky losses recently, as he's gone 3-2-3 with a 1.86 GAA and .934 save percentage over his last eight starts. He started on the road against the Stars on Oct. 23 and turned aside 29 of 31 shots (.935 save percentage) in an overtime win. The Stars are scoring 3.27 goals per game this year, which is the sixth-best mark in the league.

Drysdale scored a goal, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

The blueliner is now at 14 points, 33 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 31 contests. He remains in the Flyers' top four, and he has just enough offense to draw interest in deeper fantasy formats.

Carrier scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.

Carrier opened the scoring at 5:44 of the first period. This was his second goal in the last six games. The 30-year-old winger remains a part of the Hurricanes' bottom six, but he hasn't offered much offense this season.

Rakell registered an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Rakell was playing in his second game after returning from a long-term hand injury. He's immediately slotted back into a top-six role with ice time in all situations, so fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to activate him. He's earned nine points, 20 shots on net, 13 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 outings this season.

But registered a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

Schmidt scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Penguins.

Berggren was placed on waivers Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Berggren's pending demotion to AHL Grand Rapids, assuming he clears, shouldn't come as a surprise considering he has served as a healthy scratch in nine of the Red Wings' last 10 outings. In his last 10 appearances, the winger generated two assists, 10 shots and five hits while averaging 11:52 of ice time.

Kolyachonok was placed on waivers by the Stars on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

He'll provide additional depth for the Sharks after Philipp Kurashev (upper body) and Will Smith (undisclosed) landed on injured reserve Monday.
