he swelling around Colorado Avalanche goalie Darcy Kuemper's right eye has subsided a week after catching a stick blade through his mask.
Goaltender Darcy Kuemper of the Colorado Avalanche looks on prior to Game One of the First Round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Nashville Predators at Ball Arena on May 3, 2022.
“Super strange,” said Kuemper, who will be back in net when the Avalanche begin their second-round series against the St. Louis Blues. “First time, definitely thought it was one in a million. Twice is two in a million.”“The stick was the right shape, unfortunately,” explained Kuemper, who also was injured while with Arizona in 2019, when a stick accidentally struck him after a backhanded goal. “Just a scary situation.
Johansen said soon after he was “sick to his stomach” at seeing Kuemper’s injury. Kuemper sat out Game 4 — Pavel Francouz filled in — as the Avalanche closed out the series in a sweep. “I thought he was selling it to try to get a penalty. Then I saw his eye …” Johnson said. “He was not selling it. It’s crazy.The weeklong layoff has given Kuemper more time to heal and more time for the swelling to go down. The incident won’t be on his mind, though.
