Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer (undisclosed) is not ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus Columbus. He was unavailable on Friday versus Vegas after having an accident at home. Grubauer returned to practice on Monday, but Joey Daccord will make another start on Tuesday, with Ales Stezka suiting up as his backup. Daccord has clearly outplayed Grubauer so far, going 5-3-1, while the German netminder carries a 1-5-0 record. The bookmakers have made Seattle a -154 favorite for Tuesday's contest, meaning Daccord is expected to collect another victory against the Blue Jackets.
Philipp Grubauer Day-To-Day, Ales Stezka Called Up
Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer (undisclosed) will miss Friday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights as he deals with an injury suffered at home. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, as he was on the ice Friday morning, but it is enough to keep him out for at least one game. Ales Stezka was called up from the AHL and will back up Joey Daccord in Friday's game. If Grubauer's injury does end up being serious, Daccord would see a heavy workload.
Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer will start Tuesday's season opener against the St. Louis Blues. He gets the nod ahead of Joey Daccord, who outplayed the German last season. Grubauer finished the 2023-24 campaign with a 14-16-2 record. He started the season with four consecutive losses and will look to avoid the same fate in 2024-25. The bookmakers have Seattle as a slight favorite for Tuesday's contest, so Grubauer appears to be in a good position to make a winning start. He boasts a 4-4-2 career record against the Blues.
Philipp Grubauer Establishes New Record With 39-Save Shutout
Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer had one of his most enjoyable nights at the office this season on Tuesday, shutting out Arizona in a 5-0 win. He recorded 39 saves, the most a Kraken goalie has ever had in a shutout. This was Grubauer's second shutout of the campaign. It's been a rocky road for the German, but Grubauer is finishing off the season strongly, as he's on a 4-1-0 run.

The veteran suffered a lower-body injury in the second period of a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning and was put on Injured Reserve one day later. It's been tough sledding once again for Grubauer, who has largely scuffled in his Kraken tenure. The 32-year-old sports a 3.25 goals-against average and an .884 save percentage across 17 games on the season, going just 5-9-1 in that time. Fellow netminder Joey Daccord has stepped up with a 2.36 GAA and .921 save percentage across 36 appearances for Seattle, so Grubauer could very well act as the backup goaltender for the remainder of the season.
Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer (lower body) is considered week-to-week. He's already missed a pair of games and landed on Injured Reserve on Sunday. Joey Daccord has become the No. 1 in Grubauer's absence and will make a third consecutive start on Thursday versus Chicago. The 27-year-old should be in high spirits after posting his first career shutout in the previous game, and Daccord is a good option between the pipes for managers on Thursday, as the Blackhawks have averaged the second-fewest goals in the league this season (2.36).

The team has brought in Chris Driedger from the AHL to work alongside Joey Daccord.

"You saw that in the morning skate today, he's available and good to go," Kraken head coach David Hakstol said on Tuesday. Grubauer finished third in Vezina Trophy voting in his final season with the Colorado Avalanche in the 2021-22 campaign but is struggling in his third season in Seattle. The German owns a 3.36 goals-against average and an .885 save percentage in 12 starts this season, going 5-6-0 in that time. His minus-5.62 goals saved above average ranks 56th of 66 qualified netminders, per Hockey Reference.
