EDGE Analysis
Grubauer has made nine starts this season, but the results haven't been encouraging for the 33-year-old German netminder. He has dropped his last six starts over a stretch from Oct. 22-Dec. 6, posting a 3.81 GAA and a disappointing .867 save percentage amid that losing skid. On the season, the 13-year veteran has gone 1-8-0 with a 3.56 GAA and an .870 save percentage.

Grubauer will start on the road versus the Devils, per Sound of Hockey.
EDGE Analysis
Grubauer has lost five straight starts, allowing 19 goals on 130 shots (.854 save percentage) over that stretch. The 33-year-old netminder will handle the second half of a back-to-back, but the Devils are a tough opponent. They have averaged 3.54 goals per game this season.

Grubauer made 19 saves in an 8-5 loss to the Sharks on Friday. He allowed seven goals.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's shinny game was great for fans, but bad for netminders and especially bad for one with just a single win on the season. Grubauer's season has been more than a struggle, and he sits with a 1-7-0 record, 3.62 GAA and .862 save percentage. He last recorded a season with a save percentage above .899 in 2020-21 (.922; Colorado). Yikes. Grubauer is better served on the wire, where some other manager might think he's worth the risk.

Grubauer will patrol the road crease Friday against the Sharks, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old has been struggling all season long and has gone 1-6-0 with a 3.11 GAA and an .881 save percentage over seven starts. This will be his first start since Nov. 17, when he lost 2-0 to the Rangers. The Sharks average 2.64 goals per game this season, the 10th-worst mark in the league.

Grubauer stopped 21 of 23 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Grubauer kept the game close, but an Alexis Lafreniere backdoor tap-in in the second period and a Zac Jones blast from the faceoff circle in the third were enough to sink him. This was Grubauer's first action since Nov. 5 -- he missed three games due to an accident at home. The 32-year-old is now 1-6-0 with a 3.11 GAA and an .881 save percentage over seven starts. Joey Daccord has been better by every measure and will likely continue to see a slight edge in starts, especially since the Kraken don't have a back-to-back for nearly two weeks.

Grubauer (undisclosed) will serve as the backup against Chicago on Thursday, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Grubauer takes a spot at the end of the bench, it will be Joey Daccord who gets the starting nod at home versus the Blackhawks. It's been a tough start to the season for the 32-year-old Grubauer, as he is sporting a 1-5-0 record, 3.27 GAA and .877 save percentage. At this point, even with the German netminder healthy, he seems to have fallen behind Daccord as the No. 2 option in Seattle.

Grubauer (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Dan Bylsma said after Monday's practice session that he isn't yet sure whether Grubauer will be able to return to the lineup for Tuesday's home game against Columbus since the goaltender is still undergoing evaluation. However, it was encouraging to see Grubauer return to practice after he was forced to miss Friday's game against Vegas due to an accident he suffered while at home.

Grubauer had an accident while at home. While he's not seriously injured, he isn't expected to be available for Friday's home game against Vegas and is day-to-day beyond that, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Grubauer has a 1-5-0 record, 3.27 GAA and .877 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. Joey Daccord will likely start against the Golden Knights, and Ales Stezka or Niklas Kokko will probably be recalled from AHL Coachella Valley to serve as the understudy.
