Darcy Kuemper earns first NHL win
Darcy Kuemper - G - Minnesota Wild
Feb. 17, 2013 - 9:30 PM ET

Darcy Kuemper blocked 29 of 31 shots Sunday as the Wild came back to defeat Detroit by a score of 3-2.

Kuemper was called on to start just prior to puck-drop, as Niklas Backstrom came down with an illness and he played very well in relief of Minnesota's starter. The win is the first of his NHL career.
