Philipp Grubauer News

Seattle is off to a solid 5-3-1 start this season and has received encouraging goaltending from Grubauer, who has never lived up to being the team's number-one goalie. That said, Grubauer will hope to bounce back after a season-worst performance in which he allowed four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 34-year-old German goalie has a 2.71 GAA and .910 SV% in five games (2-1-1). The Kraken enter Tuesday's contest as +102 home underdogs against a Detroit Red Wings team on a two-game winning streak.

Grubauer has never lived up to expectations since joining the Seattle Kraken in their inaugural 2021-22 season, but he is off to a strong start in 2026-27. The 34-year-old German goalie was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 37 of 40 shots (.925 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings. He has a 2.59 GAA and .917 SV% in three appearances this season (1-1-0). The Kraken enter Tuesday’s contest as slight +102 road underdogs against a Philadelphia Flyers team that has scored a league-worst eight goals in seven games (0-5-2).

Grubauer exited the game with just over six minutes remaining in the second period and was unable to return. We should get an update on his status ahead of Seattle's game in Minnesota on Tuesday.

A disappointing couple of weeks for Seattle has effectively put them out of contention for a playoff spot, but they have received adequate netminding from Grubauer, who will return to the crease on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 34-year-old German goalie saved 27 of 30 shots (.900 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. He has a 2.80 GAA and .906 SV% in his last six games (2-3-1), and is far and away having his best season with Seattle. The Kraken enter Monday's contest as +148 road underdogs against a Jets team that is 3-1-0 in their last four games.

The Kraken will somewhat surprisingly hand Grubauer a third consecutive start when they travel to Edmonton on Tuesday. To be fair, Grubauer was unfortunate to not come away with a victory in his last start, as he turned away 34 of the 36 shots he faced in a 3-2 shootout loss in Buffalo on Saturday. The 34-year-old netminder has enjoyed a bounce-back season, posting a 13-9-4 record and a .911 SV% across 29 appearances. The Kraken enter action on Tuesday just two points behind the Nashville Predators for the final Wild Card spot in the West with two games in hand.

Amid a five-game losing streak (0-4-1), Seattle will try to right their ship by turning to Grubauer on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 34-year-old Grubauer didn't provide much optimism in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 25 shots (.800 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the same Lightning team. Since returning from the Olympic break, Grubauer has a 3.49 GAA and .875 SV% in five appearances (1-3-0). Seattle enters Thursday's contest as sizable +248 road underdogs against a Tampa Bay team on a five-game point streak (4-0-1).

Grubauer was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks and will look to carry that momentum in Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The win snapped a rough four-game skid for the 34-year-old Grubauer, where he posted a 3.66 GAA and .870 SV% while his team went 0-4-0. Seattle enters the action on Tuesday as +165 home underdogs against a struggling Tampa Bay team that is 2-7-0 in their last nine games.

Seattle has snuck their way into a Wild Card spot after a 7-3-0 run, and will turn to Grubauer on Wednesday against the St. Louis Blues. The 34-year-old Grubauer entered the Olympic break on an outstanding run, posting a 1.99 GAA and .933 SV%, but has not been able to recapture that momentum since returning, allowing eight goals on 62 combined shots (.871 SV%) in two games (0-2-0). The Kraken enter the action on Wednesday as -140 home favourites against a Blues team that defeated them 5-1 last week.

Grubauer will make his first post-Olympic start on Thursday after serving as Joey Daccord's backup in last night's loss to the Stars. Grubauer was in the midst of a bounce-back campaign prior to the Olympic break, posting an 11-6-3 record and a .916 SV% across 22 appearances. He and the Kraken enter action on Thursday as slight underdogs at +120 on the money line.
