Grubauer stopped 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.
Grubauer let a couple of one-goal leads slip away, but he never let the Blues pull out too far ahead. In the shootout, he played a starring role, stopping five of seven attempts to help the Kraken get the win. Grubauer is up to 8-17-1 with a 3.49 GAA and an .875 save percentage over 26 outings. He's redeemed himself a bit since a stint at AHL Coachella Valley, going 3-2-0 with 11 goals allowed on 129 shots (.915 save percentage) over his last five outings. Still, don't be surprised to see Joey Daccord get the nod for the Kraken's season finale at home versus the Kings on Tuesday.

Rotowire

Grubauer will be between the pipes for Seattle in the team's penultimate game this season. It'll be the first start since March 31 for the 33-year-old, who has a 7-17-1 record with a 3.52 GAA and an .875 save percentage in 25 appearances this season.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Available Thursday
Rotowire
Grubauer (illness) is available for Thursday's road game against Vegas, per the NHL media site.
Joey Daccord will get the start, but Grubauer is the only other goaltender on Seattle's roster, so it seems he will serve as the understudy. Grubauer has a 7-17-1 record, 3.52 GAA and .875 save percentage in 25 appearances this season.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Will not suit up Tuesday
Rotowire
Grubauer is battling an illness and won't suit up for Tuesday's game versus Utah, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
Grubauer likely would have been in line to start Tuesday after Joey Daccord played Monday in Los Angeles, but a flu bug has changed the plans. It's unclear if Grubauer will be ready to go Thursday at Vegas. Tuesday's game concludes the last back-to-back set on the Kraken's schedule, so it's possible Grubauer may not get another game this season.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Gives up two goals Monday
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 28 of 30 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Stars. The third goal was an empty-netter with 1:07 left in the third period.
Grubauer looked solid between the posts against one of the best teams in the Western Conference, but the offense didn't provide him enough support. Grubauer was limited to just four appearances in March, but his numbers were decent, as he went 2-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .925 save percentage while stopping 98 of the 106 shots he faced.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Drawing home start
Rotowire
Grubauer is set to start in Monday's home matchup against the Stars, per Davy Jones' Locker Room.
Grubauer's last start was in a 4-0 loss to Minnesota on March 19. The veteran netminder has played better of late, albeit a small sample size, going 2-1-0 with a .921 save percentage and a 2.02 GAA across three appearances this month. The Stars are tied for fourth in the NHL with 3.41 goals per game and defeated the Kraken 5-1 in the first half of this back-to-back set in Seattle on Saturday.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 24 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to the Wild. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Grubauer gave up three goals within the first 4:29 of the contest. The Kraken were able to make an effort on offense with 34 shots on net, but they couldn't solve Filip Gustavsson, handing Grubauer his first loss in three outings since he returned from AHL Coachella Valley. The 33-year-old netminder is down to 7-16-1 with a 3.59 GAA and an .873 save percentage over 24 appearances. Grubauer has been far too inconsistent to be trusted in fantasy, and he's unlikely to see much more than one start a week for the remainder of the campaign. Look for Joey Daccord to draw the start in Saturday's road game versus the Oilers.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Starting in Minnesota
Rotowire
Grubauer will start Wednesday's road game versus the Wild, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Since coming back to the big club March 2, Grubauer has won both of his starts, allowing three goals on 49 shots. He'll have a tough task Wednesday, as the Kraken are on the second half of a back-to-back after Joey Daccord backstopped them to a 6-2 win over the Blackhawks on Tuesday. The Wild have been lacking on offense lately -- they haven't exceeded three goals in any of their last six games, with their last instance above that mark being a March 4 win over the Kraken.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Wins again Friday
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 23 of 25 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over Utah.
Grubauer's time with AHL Coachella Valley looks to have served him well to get back on track. He's allowed just three goals on 49 shots over two starts, both wins, since returning from the minor-league club March 2. The 33-year-old could help alleviate Joey Daccord's workload down the stretch -- Daccord's performance has started to crater under heavy usage, and Grubauer may just be the hot hand currently. For the season, Grubauer is 7-15-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .872 save percentage over 23 appearances. Even if he's able to claim a larger role, fantasy managers may want to proceed with caution.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: First win since recall from AHL
Rotowire
Grubauer made 23 saves in 4-1 win over the Flyers on Saturday.
It was Grubauer's first NHL win since Dec. 30. Seattle waived him in late January following a poor start to the 2024-25 season. After clearing waivers, Grubauer reported to AHL Coachella Valley, where he went 5-2-0 with a 2.87 GAA and an .893 save percentage in seven games. His teammates stood tall for him Saturday, blocking 15 shots in a total team effort.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Starting in Philadelphia
Rotowire
Grubauer will be between the visiting pipes in Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.
Grubauer went 5-15-1 with a 3.83 GAA and an .866 save percentage with the Kraken before being waived in January. He turned things around slightly with AHL Coachella Valley and will make his first start since Sunday's recall. The Flyers are generating 2.86 goals per game this season, 17th in the league.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Recalled by Seattle
Rotowire
Grubauer was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday.
Grubauer was waived by the Kraken in late January, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Niklas Kokko was sent down. Joey Daccord has been inconsistent recently, going 3-3-1 with a 3.21 GAA and .901 save percentage over his last seven appearances, so it's possible Grubauer gets some chances to tend the twine late in the season.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Designated for waivers
Rotowire
Grubauer was placed on waivers Wednesday for the purpose of reassignment to AHL Coachella Valley.
Grubauer is currently mired in a six-game losing streak for the Kraken, going 0-5-1 with a 4.73 GAA. The netminder went seven games without making an appearance during his slump and was disappointing when he finally got another look. Assuming Grubauer clears waivers, Ales Stezka should be recalled from the minors to serve as the backup to Joey Daccord in Seattle.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Poor performance Tuesday
Rotowire
Grubauer gave up five goals on 22 shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks.
This was a pretty loose game all around, which doesn't tend to bode well for Grubauer. He's dropped five straight starts in regulation and has lost six in a row in January. The 33-year-old is down to 5-15-1 with a 3.83 GAA and an .866 save percentage through 21 starts this season. Joey Daccord is likely to handle the bulk of the goaltending duties until Grubauer can get out of his rut. The Kraken host the Sharks on Thursday.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Facing Ducks
Rotowire
Grubauer will protect the home goal versus the Ducks on Tuesday, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
Unsurprisingly, Grubauer will get the second half of a back-to-back after Joey Daccord was in net for a 4-2 loss to the Oilers on Monday. This will be Grubauer's first action since Jan. 12 against the Red Wings, a game in which he was pulled after giving up three goals on four shots. Grubauer has lost five straight outings (0-4-1) while allowing 17 goals in that span.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Pulled in loss to Detroit
Rotowire
Grubauer conceded three goals on four shots before being replaced by Joey Daccord in the first period of Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Grubauer was blitzed for three goals, one on the power play, in the opening 6:16 of Sunday's defeat. Daccord saw game action for a second straight day as a result. The 33-year-old Grubauer closed out December with back-to-back victories, but he's winless in January, posting an 0-3-1 record, .861 save percentage and 3.91 GAA across four outings. The German netminder has just five wins through 20 appearances to go along with an .870 save percentage and 3.76 GAA this campaign.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Starting in Detroit
Rotowire
Grubauer will guard the road goal versus the Red Wings on Sunday, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.
Grubauer will get the second half of Seattle's back-to-back after Joey Daccord played in Saturday's 6-2 win over Buffalo. The 33-year-old Grubauer has a 5-13-1 record with a 3.62 GAA and an .875 save percentage across 19 appearances this season. Detroit sits 25th in the league with 2.78 goals per game in 2024-25, and the Red Wings are riding a six-game winning streak.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Slated to start Thursday
Rotowire
Grubauer is expected to start on the road against Columbus on Thursday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
Grubauer will attempt to end his three-game losing streak -- he has a 3.01 GAA and an .890 save percentage in that span. The 33-year-old netminder is 5-12-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .880 save percentage in 18 outings overall. Columbus ranks fifth in goals per game with 3.37, though the Blue Jackets are missing Sean Monahan (wrist), who has been one of their offensive leaders.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Extends winless streak
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 26 of 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
Grubauer had a solid display between the pipes, but the Kraken offense didn't provide him with enough support. This defeat extended his winless streak to three appearances, a span in which the 33-year-old German netminder has gone 0-2-1 with a 3.01 GAA and an .890 save percentage. The overall numbers have been subpar as well, as Grubauer has won just five of his 18 starts this season, going 5-12-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .880 save percentage.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Leaves ice first
Rotowire
Grubauer was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports, indicating he'll get the starting nod at home versus the Devils.
Grubauer has given up three or more goals in five of his last six outings, posting a 2-3-1 record, 3.51 GAA and .875 save percentage. With Joey Daccord (upper body) still on injured reserve, the Kraken have little choice but to keep rolling with Grubauer -- unless they want to start Ales Stezka, who has yet to make an NHL appearance.
