Grubauer stopped 40 of the 45 shots he faced in a 5-2 loss in his NHL debut. He will return to the AHL where he is 8-4-1 with a 1.99 GAA and .930 SV%.

Grubauer has a 8-4-1 record with 1.99 GAA and .930 SV% as a member of the Hershey Bears of the AHL this season. He has a fairly easy opponent for his NHL debut but there should be better spot start options.

No surprise here, Grubauer was brought up yesterday to backup Braden Holtby while Michael Neuvirth fought the flu.

Grubauer was called up because Michael Neuvirth is sick. Grubauer will back-up Braden Holtby.
