Darcy Kuemper left Game 1 due to an injury.
The Hockey Central panel discusses the uncertainty surrounding Colorado Avalanche goalkeeper Darcy Kuemper's departure from the game. He left midway through the second period after a delay due to work on his pad. Although he took a few high shots during the period, there was no visible flinching or awkward movement. In a previous game against Nashville, Kuemper had to leave after a stick got caught in his mask, which might relate to an upper body injury. It's speculated he may have struggled to track the high shots, possibly affecting his performance.
