Darcy Kuemper Could Play In Game 4 Despite Eye Injury
3 years agoColorado Avalanche goaltender Darcy Kuemper had to leave Saturday's Game 3 against Nashville with an eye injury, but it's possible that he will play in Monday's Game 4. Kuemper hurt his eye near the end of the first period when Ryan Johansen's stick got through into his mask. The Avalanche No. 1 left after saving nine of 10 shots he faced. Pavel Francouz completed the job in a 7-3 victory by saving 18 of 20 shots. Kuemper has been a rock for Colorado all year and it will be interesting to see what the team is going to do with him. They are 3-0 up in the series and have no reason to rush Kuemper back, but the chances of completing a sweep are surely better with all of your best players on the ice and things might get a bit uncomfortable if Nashville gets some life back with a victory on Monday.
