Philipp Grubauer - NHL News & Rumors

Falls to Oilers Grubauer stopped 22 of 24 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton, with the Oilers' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact Making his first appearance of the season, Grubauer kept the Kraken in the contest but didn't get a lot of offensive support. The veteran netminder produced a 2.65 GAA and .909 save percentage in 2025-26, better ratios than Joey Daccord, and if that trend continues into the current campaign, Grubauer could work his way into a timeshare rather than being the clear No. 2 in the crease.

Slated to face Edmonton Grubauer is slated to start on the road against Edmonton on Saturday, per Sound of Hockey.

Impact Grubauer had a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 32 outings with Seattle during the 2025-26 regular season. He's gearing up for his first start of the new campaign. Edmonton is missing Zach Hyman (undisclosed), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (lower body) and Matt Savoie (lower body), so its forward group is missing some noteworthy members. Despite that, Edmonton figures to be a difficult adversary after accumulating 14 goals across two games against Vancouver to open the campaign.

Nabs shootout win Grubauer stopped 32 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-3 preseason shootout win over the Flames.

Impact Grubauer has done well this preseason, stopping 47 of 51 shots over two games. The 34-year-old isn't eligible to play Saturday against the Canucks due to limitations on veterans in the preseason, so his next start will come in the regular season. The Kraken have a back-to-back over the first weekend of the campaign, so Grubauer won't have to wait long to get back between the pipes.

Getting start Thursday Grubauer will protect the home goal Thursday in a preseason game versus the Flames, per Sound of Hockey.

Impact Grubauer stopped 15 of 16 shots against the Flames over two periods in his start Sunday. The 34-year-old netminder will make his last appearance of the preseason in this contest. Grubauer is set to open the year as Joey Daccord's backup, though the two could operate more as a tandem if one doesn't pull away from the other in terms of performance.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance in preseason action Grubauer turned aside 15 of 16 shots in Sunday's 4-2 preseason win over the Flames.

Impact Grubauer played the first two periods of Sunday's game before giving way to Nikke Kokko in the third. The 34-year-old Grubauer posted relatively solid numbers in 2025-26 (2.65 GAA, .909 save percentage), but unless the Kraken take a step forward this year, wins may be difficult to come by for Grubauer.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

In goal Sunday Grubauer will guard the road goal against Calgary on Sunday in preseason action, Bob Condor of the Kraken's official site reports.

Impact Grubauer will play the first two periods, and Nikke Kokko will enter the contest in the third frame. The 34-year-old Grubauer went 13-12-4 with a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 32 regular-season appearances for Seattle in 2025-26. He will likely compete for starts with Joey Daccord in the 2026-27 campaign.

Joining Team Germany Grubauer (lower body) will take part in the 2026 IIHF World Championship with Germany, the team announced Tuesday.

Impact Grubauer missed the last six games of the regular season due to his lower-body injury but appears healthy enough to travel to Worlds. In 32 regular-season outings, the 34-year-old backstop went 13-12-4 with a 2.65 GAA and .909 save percentage. He'll enter the final year of his contract in the 2026-27 campaign.

MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out again Thursday Grubauer (lower body) is not expected to be available Thursday versus the Avalanche.

Impact Grubauer wasn't named by head coach Lane Lambert in pregame, but the fact that Victor Ostman was indicated to be the starter suggests Grubauer remains out. The 34-year-old Grubauer will finish with a 13-12-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 32 appearances, his best ratios in five years for the Kraken. He'll be in a contract year in 2026-27. If Grubauer's injury isn't too serious, he could also be a contender to be invited in May to the IIHF World Championship for Germany.

Unavailable Monday Grubauer (lower body) will not play in Monday's home clash against the Kings, per Sound of Hockey.

Impact Grubauer is set to be absent from his fourth straight game Monday. Overall, the 34-year-old netminder has a 13-12-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 32 games this season. With Joey Daccord (lower body) also out, it creates an avenue for Niklas Kokko to start his second consecutive game. Grubauer will have two more chances to return to Seattle's lineup, with the next set for Wednesday's road game against the Golden Knights.

Out for Tuesday's clash Grubauer (lower body) will miss Tuesday's road matchup against the Wild, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Impact Head coach Lane Lambert noted that Grubauer timeline to return is undetermined after he sustained his lower-body injury midway through Monday's contest. Overall, Grubauer has a 13-12-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 32 appearances this season. The 34-year-old netminder had begun to draw the majority of starts during Seattle's late playoff push, so the team will likely pivot to Joey Daccord in his absence. Grubauer will likely be considered day-to-day for the time being unless he is ruled out indefinitely in the coming days.
