PHILIPP GRUBAUER NEWS

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.

Needed in relief Monday Grubauer stopped all six shots he faced after replacing Joey Daccord to begin the third period of Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact It was only the second appearance of the season for the veteran goalie, as Daccord has dominated the crease for the Kraken in the early going. In four-plus periods of work so far, Grubauer has allowed three goals on 29 shots, recording an OTL in his only start.

Allows three goals in shootout loss Grubauer stopped 21 of 24 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators.

Impact Grubauer made his first start of the season in this matchup to give Joey Daccord a much-needed night off after the Kraken's last two matchups went to overtime. Grubauer posted an .875 save percentage in 2024-25 and should operate as the Kraken's No. 2 goaltender this season as long as Daccord stays healthy, so his chances of making a regular impact in fantasy won't be very high.

Expected to start Thursday Grubauer is expected to start Thursday's road game against Ottawa, Geoff Baker of the Kraken's official site reports.

Impact Joey Daccord started Seattle's first three games of the season, but it appears as though he'll get the night off Thursday after the Kraken's last two matchups went to overtime. Grubauer made 26 regular-season appearances for Seattle last year, going 8-17-1 with a 3.49 GAA and .875 save percentage.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Set to defend home crease Grubauer will draw the home start during Monday's preseason game against the Flames, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

Impact Grubauer is in the midst of a competition to serve as the Kraken's No. 2 netminder to begin the regular season. He started on the road against the Flames last Tuesday and turned aside 17 of 19 shots while playing approximately half of the game. While he's been relatively solid, Matt Murray has also played well during the preseason, so Grubauer could need another productive showing during Monday's matchup in order to keep pace.
