The Wild have sent Darcy Kuemper to Iowa (AHL) on a conditioning stint.

Kuemper missed seven games with a lower-body injury, but returned in a relief role in Minnesota’s final game before the All Star break. Kuemper will play a few games with Iowa, before returning to the Wild, where he will split time with Devan Dubnyk and Niklas Backstrom.

The Wild have placed Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) on IR.

Kuemper suffered an injury in practice on Wednesday and has been placed on IR. His designation on IR means that he will miss at least the next four games (including tonight). Niklas Backstrom will serve as the Wild’s number-1 with John Curry as his backup.

Kuemper will be in goal for the Wild.

Kuemper was pulled after he allowed four goals on 21 shots in the Wild’s blowout 7-1 loss to the Stars on Saturday. Over the last month, Kuemper has lost five of seven starts with a 3.15 GAA and .902 SV%. He has become an extremely risky fantasy investment. Be cautious until he proves otherwise.

Kuemper allowed two goals on 30 shots in a loss to the Sharks in his last start. Despite his recent struggles, Kuemper is 7-3-0 at home this season—however his .885 SV% at Xcel Energy Center is alarming.
