Grubauer is expected to start on the road against Columbus on Thursday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Grubauer stopped 26 of 29 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Grubauer allowed three goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter

EDGE Analysis

Grubauer has given up 17 goals over his last five games, going 2-2-1 in that span. Joey Daccord's (upper body) ongoing absence has given Grubauer a chance to stake a claim to more playing time, but he hasn't made a great case for himself. The German netminder is now 5-11-1 with a 3.47 GAA and an .879 save percentage over 17 games this season. The Kraken have another tough home matchup Monday versus the Devils.

Grubauer will start at home versus the Oilers, per Sound of Hockey.

EDGE Analysis

Grubauer is set to make his fourth straight start as Joey Daccord (upper body) continues to be sidelined. Grubauer will have a tough matchup against the Oilers, who have won four of their last six games while scoring 21 goals in that span.

Grubauer allowed three goals on 22 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Grubauer had won his last two starts, but he came up just short Thursday. The Kraken pulled off another multi-goal comeback to earn a standings point, but Grubauer allowed the only shootout tally to J.T. Miller to take the loss. Grubauer slipped to 5-10-1 with a 3.50 GAA and an .877 save percentage over 16 starts this season. He's actually struggled under lighter workloads -- he's 2-6-1 when facing fewer than 30 shots compared to 3-4-0 when facing 30 or more shots, though his ratios are similar in those splits.

Grubauer will guard the home goal versus the Canucks on Thursday, per Davy Jones' Locker Room.

EDGE Analysis

Joey Daccord (upper body) remains sidelined, so Grubauer will earn his third straight start. He's won his last two games, including a 5-4 overtime victory against the Canucks on Saturday. They put up four goals on 22 shots in that game, so they'll still offer a firm challenge for Grubauer even with Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) and Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) out of the lineup.

Grubauer turned aside 28 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over Utah.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran netminder had a rough start to the season and remains a little shaky, but Grubauer is at least getting more help from the Kraken's offense of late. He's started seven of Seattle's last 11 games and gone 4-3-0 despite a 3.46 GAA and an .892 save percentage, getting at least five goals of support in four of those contests, including each of the last two.

Grubauer will be in the home blue paint Monday versus Utah, per Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times.

EDGE Analysis

Grubauer has struggled in December, going 3-3-0 with an .885 save percentage and 3.71 GAA through six appearances. He's conceded at least three goals in five of those contests. The 33-year-old will have a moderately favorable matchup against a Utah team that ranks 20th in the NHL with 2.94 goals per game.

Grubauer made 18 saves in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

The Kraken were down 4-1 early in the third period, but Grubauer shut the door the rest of the way as his team mounted a comeback. The veteran goalie has been beaten at least four times in four of his last five starts, but strong offensive support has allowed him to go 3-2-0 in that stretch despite a 3.83 GAA and .878 save percentage. Grubauer will serve as Seattle's top netminder as long as Joey Daccord (undisclosed) is sidelined.
