Philipp Grubauer News

Grubauer has not played since December 9th when he exited the game with a lower-body injury, and remains out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis. Chris Driedger was recalled from the AHL, but Joey Daccord has filled in, starting each game, and performing admirably in the process, including a 24-save shutout in Seattle's last game, a 4-0 victory over the Florida Panthers.

Grubauer will start for Seattle on Thursday, continuing a mostly forgettable season for the German netminder. Grubauer has recorded a sub-.890 SV% in eight consecutive appearances (3-3-1), posting a cumulative, ugly .859 SV%. His .200 quality start rate through 15 games is among the worst in the entire league. The Kraken are +126 home underdogs against a New Jersey Devils team that ranks fourth-best in the league offensively (3.70 GF / GP).

Grubauer did not play in Seattle's 2-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday but will return to the crease on Monday as he searches for his first victory in his last three appearances. Grubauer has an ugly 3.37 GAA and .882 SV% through 14 games (5-7-1) and ranks among the worst in the league with only three quality starts (.214 QS %). A win is likely for Grubauer on Monday as the Kraken are -152 road favourites, but don't expect much else from him, even against the low-scoring Montreal Canadiens (2.75 GF / GP), as he has a sub-.895 SV% in his last eight contests (3-3-1).

Grubauer will likely start again on Thursday after allowing four goals on 23 shots (.826 SV%) in Seattle's 4-3 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday. Grubauer has been unreliable this season, posting a 3.42 GAA and .881 SV% through 13 games (5-7-0). In addition, Grubauer only has three quality starts this season and has recorded a sub-.890 SV% in each of his last seven appearances (3-3-0). The Kraken are +154 road underdogs against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that has won five of their last seven (5-1-1) and ranks in the top half of the league offensively (3.30 GF / GP).

Grubauer will make his return to the crease for the Kraken on Tuesday after being sidelined with an undisclosed injury for their past two games. Before his injury, Grubauer had three wins in his last five appearances (3-1-0) but still managed only a .845 SV%. Grubauer has only three quality starts in 12 games this season (.250 QS%), a trend that makes him difficult to be relied upon in most fantasy formats. That said, he should be able to add to his win totals on Tuesday as the Kraken are -185 road favourites against a Chicago Blackhawks team that has lost six of their last seven (1-6-0).

Chris Dreidger was reassigned to Coachella Valley (AHL) and Grubauer was a full participant in practice Saturday so the 32-year-old net minder is expected to be good to go fro Seattle's next game. He has struggled mightily for a third-straight season with his 5-6-0 record, 3.36 GAA and .885 SV%.

Grubauer left the Kraken's game Monday vs. Calgary after the first period due to an undisclosed injury and did not practice Tuesday. He is considered day-to-day and Chris Driedger is expected to get the call-up in his absense. The 31-year-old netminder is on pace for his worst statistical season in his three years in Seattle, as he is 5-6-0 with a .885 SV% and a 3.36 GAA.

Grubauer has started two straight for the Kraken and will start again on Monday against the Calgary Flames. Despite having won an impressive five of his last seven games (5-2-0), Grubauer is doing the bare minimum between the pipes for the Kraken, posting a subpar .884 SV% during that stretch. In fact, three of Grubauer's five wins have been sub-.885 SV% performances as the German goaltender has only three quality starts through 11 games this season. The Kraken are slight -104 home underdogs against a Flames team that has collected a point in three straight (2-0-1).

Grubauer draws a second consecutive start after he won the Kraken's previous outing vs. the Islanders after stopping 20 of 23 shots (.870 SV%). The 31-year-old is producing a sub .900 SV% for a third-straight season as he's 4-6-0 with a .890 SV% and a 3.30 GAA. He takes on the high flying Vancouver Canucks, who have won seven of their last nine games and are 1st in the NHL in goals per game (4.24).

Grubauer will return to the Kraken crease on Thursday after Seattle turned to Joey Daccord for each of the team's last two games. Grubauer's last start came via a 4-1 defeat to the Oilers on Saturday, when he surrendered four goals on just 17 shots before being lifted from the game in favour of Daccord. His record on the season now sits at 3-6-0 to go along with his .891 SV% and 3.31 GAA. He'll hope to get things back on track in a decent home matchup against the Islanders in a pick 'em game on Thursday.
