Philipp Grubauer - NHL News & Rumors

Fades in third period Grubauer stopped 33 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Grubauer was in for a tough matchup, but the Kraken gave him a fighting chance with a 3-2 lead after two periods. Nathan MacKinnon took over in the third, and that sent Grubauer to his third straight loss since the Kraken started alternating goalie starts between Grubauer and Joey Daccord. On the year, Grubauer is 4-3-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 10 outings. If the alternating pattern continues, Daccord would start Thursday in Calgary, followed by Grubauer getting the nod Saturday in San Jose.

Starting Tuesday Grubauer will protect the home goal versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum reports.

Impact The Kraken have started to alternate goalies, giving Grubauer his third start in six games in this contest. It's a tough assignment for him against one of his former teams -- the Avalanche lead the league with 4.00 goals per game this season.

Can't get back in win column Grubauer allowed three goals on 29 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Mammoth. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact This was a tighter game than the final score suggests, but Grubauer allowed a key goal to Dylan Guenther on a Utah power play in the third period. Grubauer has allowed five goals on 56 shots over his last two outings, both regulation losses. He's at a 4-2-1 record with a 2.61 GAA and a .900 save percentage over nine contests this season. He's unlikely to steal the starting job from Joey Daccord, but Grubauer has played well enough in general to see a slight uptick in usage amid Daccord's recent struggles. The Kraken are in action at home versus the Sabres in a favorable matchup for whichever goalie gets the nod.

Getting start versus Mammoth Grubauer will guard the road goal Friday versus the Mammoth, per Circling Seattle Sports.

Impact Grubauer will make his second start in the last three games. While he took a loss versus the Wild on Monday, he stopped 25 of 27 shots. Grubauer is carving out a larger role amid Joey Daccord's recent struggles, and it's possible the two goalies share the crease for a while going forward.

Falls short versus Wild Grubauer allowed two goals on 27 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Wild. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Grubauer did his best to keep the game close, but the Kraken didn't give him enough support. This was his first regulation loss of the season, dropping the 34-year-old to a 4-1-1 record through eight appearances. He's added a steady 2.54 GAA and .900 save percentage in the backup role behind Joey Daccord. With Daccord struggling lately, Grubauer may be called upon more frequently, though the Kraken have no back-to-backs coming up in the immediate future. They host the Kings on Wednesday in their next game.

Set to face Minnesota Grubauer will be between the home pipes Monday versus the Wild, according to Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum.

Impact Prior to making a relief appearance Thursday in Edmonton, Grubauer had won his last four outings, turning aside a combined 88 of 96 shots (.917 save percentage) in victories over Pittsburgh, San Jose, Winnipeg and St. Louis. The 34-year-old has received limited work in 2025-26, but he has yet to lose in regulation across seven appearances (4-0-1). The Wild have faltered of late, losing back-to-back games in Calgary and Vancouver, and they've scored just eight goals across their last five contests.

Sloppy in relief appearance Grubauer stopped 14 of 18 shots in relief of Joey Daccord in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Grubauer wasn't on the hook for the loss, but this was still a poor showing for him -- arguably his worst effort of the year. The 34-year-old netminder remains at 4-0-1 through seven appearances while adding a 2.63 GAA and an .895 save percentage. Grubauer is probably due a start soon, as he's gone almost two weeks without one, though it's not yet clear if that will come Saturday versus the Red Wings.

Makes 30 saves in OT win Grubauer stopped 30 of 32 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact Grubauer was beaten once in even strength and once on the power play by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, respectively, but he looked composed the rest of the way and put up a solid line en route to an OT win. The 30 saves were a season-high mark for Grubauer, who seems to be entrenched as the backup behind Joey Daccord. As long as Grubauer remains in this role, his upside will be close to minimal and strictly matchup-based.

Slated to start Saturday Grubauer was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, Piper Shaw of Kraken Hockey Network reports, indicating he will defend the road goal in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Impact Grubauer has won three straight games and has provided the Kraken with excellent back up goaltending. He is 3-0-1 with a 2.20 GAA and a .903 save percentage across five appearances this season. He will face a tired Penguins team that dropped a 5-0 decision at home Friday to Minnesota.

Perfect in relief Saturday Grubauer stopped all 19 shots he faced in relief of Matt Murray (lower body) in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Grubauer played just over two periods after Murray was hurt on the Sharks' lone goal late in the first. The 33-year-old Grubauer is now the only healthy goalie on the Kraken roster, so he may see a brief uptick in playing time until Joey Daccord (upper body) returns. Grubauer has gone 3-0-1 with a 2.21 GAA and a .903 save percentage over five appearances. Don't expect those numbers to last -- fantasy managers adding him should be looking for playing time if he gets a chance to serve as the starter. The Kraken are set for a four-game road trip over the next week, beginning Tuesday in Detroit.

Allows three goals in win Grubauer stopped 23 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Grubauer has won both of his starts since Joey Daccord (upper body) landed on injured reserve. The 33-year-old Grubauer has still given up six goals on 45 shots in those two outings, which is far from encouraging work, but the wins have been enough to see him split the crease with Matt Murray. Through four appearances, Grubauer is 2-0-1 with nine goals allowed on 74 shots. The Kraken will host a Sharks team Saturday that is coming off a 2-0 loss to the Flames.

Expected to start Thursday Grubauer was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, and is in line to get the start at home versus Winnipeg on Thursday...

Impact Grubauer will make only his second start in the Kraken's last 11 games. He is 1-0-1 across three appearances this season, allowing six goals on 48 shots. Grubauer will face the Jets, who are generating 3.25 goals per game, 13th in the NHL.

Nabs first win in OT Grubauer made 16 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.

Impact The veteran netminder seemed headed for the loss until Chandler Stephenson tied the game with two seconds left in regulation, before Shane Wright capped a dominant OT by the Kraken with the winner. It was Grubauer's first win of the season in only his third appearance, but he figures to see a heavy workload in the short term while Joey Daccord (upper body) is on the shelf.

First off Saturday Grubauer was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Piper Shaw of Kraken Hockey Network reports, indicating he will guard the road goal against St. Louis on Saturday.

Impact Grubauer has appeared in only two games this season while allowing three goals on 29 shots en route to a record of 0-0-1. However, he could see a significant increase in playing time if Joey Daccord (upper body) misses extended action. With Grubauer set to face the Blues, Matt Murray could get the second half of Seattle's road back-to-back against Dallas on Sunday.
