They've been rotating Backstrom and Kuemper. I don't know who is up tonight. I would prefer it if they just went with Kuemper because, if they want to buyout Backstrom after this season (Russo has reported this is a strong possibility), then they cannot risk Backstrom getting hurt - even as remote as that may be under the circumstances.
But they're also trying to keep Backstrom engaged, and there is no doubt he's been an incredibly good corporate citizen through this and his entire time with the Wild.
