GLENDALE -- Darcy Kuemper started the 2018-19 season as Arizona's backup goalie, and finished it as the team's MVP.
"It was a lot of fun getting out there and playing consistently," said Kuemper, who inherited the starting job in late November after Antti Raanta suffered a season-ending, lower-body injury. "It's a lot more fun than sitting on the bench. I just want to keep building off of it, keep improving."
