#Preds center Ryan Johansen says he was "sick to his stomach" when he realized what actually happened to Avalanche goaltender Darcy Kuemper and the stick inside the mask. Johansen said he's very glad to hear the injury doesn't sound serious, certainly no intent on the play.— Brooks Bratten (@brooksbratten) May 8, 2022
He returned in the series against the St. Louis Blues and won the series, but in game 1 versus the Edmonton Oilers, he pulled himself because he said he was having trouble seeing.
Kuemper pulled himself reportedly because of blurry vision and he said he couldn't see the puck— AJ Haefele (@returnofaj) June 1, 2022
But the good news now is that Kuemper is 100% and there is still atleast a week before the Stanley Cup finals gets going, so he has more time to let the injury heal.

Now the Avalanche just await the New York Rangers or two-time defending stanley cup champs Tampa Bay Lightning.
