He was under fire most of the night, and he has allowed 15 goals in his last three games (1-1-1). His save percentage is a meager .786 in that span. Kuemper is a tough activation as long as the Kings continue to play firewagon hockey.

Hague's injury leaves the Predators down a blueliner in a critical matchup. The 27-year-old can be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Monday versus the Kings, Ryan Ufko will likely draw back into the lineup.
