Grubauer will start in Utah on Friday.

Despite a superb effort from Joey Daccord against the Kings on Wednesday, it will in fact be Grubauer between the pipes when the Kraken travel to Utah on Friday. Grubauer was unfortunate to be tagged with the loss in his last start, allowing two goals on 27 shots in a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Wild on Monday. The 34-year-old netminder carries a 4-1-1 record and .900 SV% into Friday night's matchup in Utah, where the Kraken enter action at +150 on the money line.

McCann (lower-body) is expected to be out for three weeks.

McCann had been the picture of durability over the past three seasons, only missing five combined games, but has battled injury concerns throughout the 2025-26 season. The 29-year-old McCann has already missed 17 games this season and will return to the sidelines for the next few weeks, tending to a lower-body injury. He has eight points (5G / 3A) in 11 games this season.

Daccord will start against the Kings on Wednesday.

Daccord will be hoping to snap a personal five-game losing streak when he and the Kraken host the Kings on Wednesday. The 29-year-old netminder's struggles continued in his last start, when he allowed four goals on just 25 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Red Wings on Saturday. Daccord carries a 7-7-4 record and .891 SV% into Wednesday night's game, where the Kraken enter action at -120 on the money line.

Grubauer will start against the Wild on Monday.

Seattle has been outscored 21-9 during a five-game losing streak (0-4-1), and hopes for better results on Monday with Grubauer tending the twine. Despite massive struggles in his tenure with the Kraken, the 34-year-old Grubauer has a 4-0-1 record this season, posting a 2.63 GAA and .894 SV%. Seattle enters Monday's contest as +117 home underdogs against a Minnesota Wild team that has followed up a seven-game winning streak with losses in three of its last four (1-2-1).

Catton is out week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

Catton was drafted eighth overall by Seattle in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and is playing in his first NHL season. The 19-year-old forward has seen flattering deployment at times, including looks on the top line and top powerplay, but is still searching for his first career goal. He has five assists and 17 shots in 21 games this season.

The Kraken will hand Daccord his 17th start of the season when they travel to Edmonton to take on the Oilers on Thursday.

The 29-year-old netminder carries a 7-5-4 record and .902 SV% into Thursday night's rematch, where the Kraken enter action at +175 on the money line.
