The Los Angeles Kings celebrated Darcy Kuemper’s 500th NHL regular-season game Thursday against the New York Islanders. CBS Sports reported before puck drop that Kuemper was in line to reach the milestone that night. The game report lists Kuemper in goal for Los Angeles.

His teammates arrived at Crypto.com Arena in grey T-shirts made for the occasion. The shirts paired Kuemper’s No. 35 with an outline of Saskatchewan, his home province. The design also featured a Stanley Cup, which Kuemper won with Colorado in 2022, and the logos of his four previous clubs.
