The 2022, 1st round pick (4th overall) has one assist and only one SOG through seven games played earlier in the year with the Kraken and will be hoping to improve on his 8:06 ATOI.

Grubauer will start vs. the Capitals.

Grubauer stopped 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in his previous start vs. Vegas to pick up his first win of the season. The 31-year-old has battled injury all season and struggled in his limited action, posting a 1-1-1 record with a 3.35 GAA and .870 SV%. He will face the Washington Capitals, who have won three of their last four contests after a 5-1 win over Vancouver in their last game.

The Coyotes have acquired Curtis Douglas from the Maple Leafs for Conor Timmins.

Douglas is best known for his massive 6'9" frame and will head to Arizona with hopes of making the Coyotes' roster at some point this season. In 13 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) he had one assist and 30 PIMs with a -2 rating. He was dealt for defensemen Conor Timmins Wednesday.

Cale Fleury will make his season debut in the Seattle lineup Friday vs. Minnesota.

Fleury will be back in the lineup to replace an injured Jamie Oleksiak who will be out for Friday's game. It will be Fleury's season debut with the Kraken after he place nine games with them last season. In 50 career games, Fleury has yet to pick up his first career assist, but has one goal and is a -7 plus/minus with 49 SOG.

Jared McCann is day-to-day but a game-time decision Tuesday (lower body).

Daccord will start Tuesday in Calgary.

Daccord will make his first start of the season for Seattle after posting an ugly .850 SV% and 4.30 GAA with the Kraken last year. The 26-year-old even struggled prior to his call-up, posting a .880 SV% and 3.36 GAA for Coachella (AHL). He should face a ton of rubber as he takes on a Flames team that ranks third in the NHL in SOG per game with 37.4.

Seattle Kraken have placed goaltender Philipp Grubauer on injured reserve (lower-body)

Philipp Grubauer's nightmarish season continued Tuesday as the Seattle Kraken placed him on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. There is no timetable for the 30-year-old netminder's return.

Grubauer will start Friday in Colorado.

Grubauer will be looking for his first win of the 2022-23 season after dropping his last outing 5-1 to Carolina in a 29-save losing effort. He has struggled yet again after a rough first season in Seattle, as he currently is sporting a .851 SV% and 4.26 GAA in two starts on the year. He faces a very high-scoring Colorado team (4.25 GF) that is coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg its last time out.
