Grubauer will start Seattle's season opener on Tuesday vs. St. Louis. The Seattle Kraken will turn to Grubauer as their starting netminder for their season-opening matinee against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. The 32-year-old Grubauer begins his fourth season with Seattle but has been unable to find his previously elite form since joining the club. Last season, Grubauer struggled with injuries and lost his starting job to Joey Daccord while posting an unspectacular 2.85 GAA and .899 SV% in 36 games (14-16-2), despite those being the best totals in his tenure with Seattle. The Kraken enter action on Tuesday as -165 home favorites against the Blues. Source: Allyson Ballard
