It seems like every time Darcy Kuemper is announced to start Wild fans everywhere get a little nervous. Consistency is just something that has not came easily to the 26 year-old backup netminder, so it always hard guess whether the Wild will get a performance that propels the Wild to a win, or one that is at the center of a loss.
In his most recent contest in Winnipeg on last Tuesday, Kuemper had only what can be described as a hard game. His inability to let a 5-2 lead get away, mixed with the fact that he let in goals less than two minutes apart from each other in the 3rd period to let the Jets tie the game, got him pulled from that start in favor of Devan Dubnyk who was able to calm the game down enough to allow for the Wild to win.
