Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Makes 34 saves in SO loss
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 34 of 36 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.
Grubauer was beaten once in the second period and once more in the third, but he was beaten twice in the shootout as well. Still, the 34-year-old veteran has posted at least 30 saves in back-to-back games, and he's allowed three or fewer goals in four of his last five appearances. With a save percentage north of .900 in three of his last four games, Grubauer is a solid streaming option in most formats, considering he remains as the Kraken's No. 2 option between the pipes behind Joey Daccord.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Nets overtime win
Rotowire
Grubauer made 30 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Grubauer is second fiddle to Joey Daccord, but the starter has really struggled lately (1-5-1 in his last seven starts; .862 save percentage). Seattle is three points behind Nashville for the second wild-card playoff spot from the Western Conference. The Kraken need to win, so expect Grubauer to get another start right away. He has struggled himself, but he's 2-1-0 in his last three starts.

Grubauer will get the start after having watched the last three games from the bench. In his last six appearances, the backstop has managed just one win while posting a 1-4-0 record and 3.62 GAA. Look for Joey Daccord to continue to see the bulk of the workload down the stretch.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Can't contain Tampa
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 19 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Lightning. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Grubauer had won his last outing over the Canucks, but the Lightning posed a much tougher challenge. The 34-year-old netminder has lost four of his last five decisions. He dropped to 12-9-3 with a 2.62 GAA and a .909 save percentage through 27 appearances this season. The Kraken begin a road trip with a pivotal matchup versus the Predators on Thursday, but Seattle has been unpredictable with goaltending assignments for much of the season.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Secures win over Canucks
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 32 of 34 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Grubauer faced plenty of traffic, but he was up to the task to earn the win. The 34-year-old had lost his last three results, giving up 13 goals on 100 shots across four appearances in that span. Joey Daccord has struggled under a heavier workload since the Olympic break, so there's still room for Grubauer to take the reins again if he can get his own play on track. He's now 12-8-3 with a 2.52 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 26 appearances this season. Look for Daccord to get the nod Sunday versus the Panthers, but his performance in that game could lead to a shift in goalie deployment moving forward, especially if Grubauer carries some momentum from this win.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Makes relief appearance Thursday
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped nine of 11 shots in relief of Joey Daccord in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Grubauer played the final two periods and gave up a goal in each one. He's now winless over his last four outings, giving up 13 goals on 100 shots in that span. Daccord hasn't exactly been a stud lately either, but he's done enough to push Grubauer into the backup role. Grubauer is 11-8-3 with a 2.54 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 25 appearances. Both goalies should get a look this weekend, as the Kraken visit the Canucks on Saturday before hosting the Panthers on Sunday.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Handed loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 24 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
Grubauer has lost two straight starts, both against the Blues, since the Olympic break. The 34-year-old netminder was seeing a slight majority of the playing time heading into the Olympics, but if he can't get results, the Kraken could turn to the hot hand of Joey Daccord. Grubauer is now 11-8-3 with a 2.53 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. The Kraken host the Senators on Saturday.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Set to start versus Blues
Rotowire
Grubauer will guard the home goal versus the Blues on Wednesday, per Sound of Hockey.
Grubauer's last game was a loss to the Blues on Thursday, in which he stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 5-1 defeat. He has allowed at least three goals in five of his last seven outings. Grubauer will make his second start since the Olympics, and it comes after Joey Daccord's impressive performance in a 2-1 win over the Hurricanes on Monday, which makes the Kraken's goaltending choices all the more puzzling.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Beaten four times Thursday
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 27 of 31 shots in Thursday's loss to the Blues. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 3:01 left in the game.
Grubauer made his first start since returning from Olympic duty but wasn't at his best. The struggles have been real of late for Grubauer, who has given up at least three goals in three of his last four starts dating back to Jan. 23. He owns a 2.56 GAA and a .911 save percentage since the beginning of January, however, so he's been much better than those recent numbers indicate.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Guarding goal Thursday
Rotowire
Grubauer will protect the road net versus the Blues on Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Grubauer will handle the second half of a back-to-back set. The 34-year-old went 2-2 over four appearances for Germany during the Olympics. The Kraken had an unpredictable distribution of work between the pipes prior to the break, so it's not clear how Grubauer and Joey Daccord will share the crease moving forward just yet.

Grubauer made 29 saves in Germany's 6-2 loss to Slovakia in the quarterfinals of the men's Olympic hockey tournament Wednesday.
Germany was simply outplayed, falling into a 4-0 hole before finally getting on the board late in the second period, and there wasn't much Grubauer could do to stem the tide. The Kraken netminder will head back to the NHL having gone 2-2 with a .912 save percentage while representing his country.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Comes up short against Latvia
Rotowire
Grubauer made 18 saves in Germany's 4-3 loss to Latvia in Olympic round-robin play Saturday.
After allowing power-play goals in the first and second period, Grubauer stumbled in the third by allowing two even-strength tallies a little over three minutes apart, and the German offense couldn't climb out of the hole. Grubauer has given up five goals on 60 shots through two games in the tournament, and as the only netminder on the roster with NHL experience, the 34-year-old Kraken goalie could be back in the crease Sunday against the United States.
