Kuemper finished those playoffs with a .902 save percentage and a 2.54 goals-against average. The numbers were good enough to get the job done with the Avalanche, but the Kings might need a bit better goaltending to win this series. Kuemper has the potential to do that, but it won't be easy against the Oilers' offense.

The time off he took in March to heal his wounds and rest from the 4 Nations Face-Off have breathed new life into the best player in the world. He’ll be heading into the postseason on a mission to win his first Stanley Cup, and based on how he’s looked in the final two weeks of the season, I wouldn’t bet against the man.
