Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Placed on injured reserve

Kuemper (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve Friday.

Kuemper's status hasn't been updated since he left Wednesday's matchup with Colorado due to his undisclosed injury, but this move will sideline him for at least the next two games. With the veteran netminder shelved, David Rittich figures to carry the load, while Erik Portillo was recalled from AHL Ontario.
