Kuemper, 24 (5/4/90), went 12-8-4 with a 2.43 goals-against average (GAA), a .915 save percentage (SV%) and two shutouts in 26 regular season games with Minnesota in 2013-14. He set franchise records for a rookie goaltender in wins, shutouts and consecutive starts with 16 (1/12/14-3/8/14). The 6-foot-5, 205-pound native Saskatoon, Sask., ranked second in starts, tied for third in shutouts, fourth in SV% and tied for fourth in wins and GAA amongst rookie goalies that appeared in at least 10 games last season.

He went 3-1-1 with a 2.03 GAA, a .913 SV% and one shutout in six playoff contests for Minnesota. Kuemper stopped all 22 shots faced in a 1-0 overtime win in Game 3 against Colorado on April 21, 2014, the first playoff shutout in franchise history.

He posted a record of 7-10-0 with a 2.47 GAA, a .929 SV% and one shutout in 17 games with the Iowa Wild in the American Hockey League (AHL) in 2013-14. Kuemper is 13-10-4 with a 2.37 GAA, a .915 SV% and two shutouts in 32 NHL matches with Minnesota. He was the Wild’s sixth-round selection (No. 161 overall) in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
