Kings rock special T-shirts before Kuemper’s 500th NHL game

The Los Angeles Kings celebrated Darcy Kuemper’s long reign as an NHL goalie on Thursday.

The team sported custom T-shirts to honor the veteran goalie’s 500^th NHL game before they faced off against the New York Islanders at Crypto.com Arena.

During player arrivals, the Kings rocked the gray shirts featuring Kuemper’s No. 35 and the shape of his home province of Saskatchewan printed above “500 Career Games.”

Between the “500,” logos of the four other teams (Minnesota Wild, Arizona Coyotes, Washington Capitals, Colorado Avalanche) Kuemper played for were featured.

A drawing of the Stanley Cup, which the veteran goalie won with the Avalanche in 2022, was drawn in the middle of one of the zeros.

The Kings posted a picture of Kuemper arriving in a suit next to his teammates sporting the special shirts.

Kuemper is in his 15^th NHL season and third season with the Kings. He was drafted in sixth round of the 2009 NHL Draft by the Wild.
