Philipp Grubauer (undisclosed) left Monday's game with an injury and is considered day-to-day.

Grubauer left the Kraken's game Monday vs. Calgary after the first period due to an undisclosed injury and did not practice Tuesday.

Grubauer will start against the Flames on Monday.

Grubauer has started two straight for the Kraken and will start again on Monday against the Calgary Flames.

In fact, three of Grubauer's five wins have been sub-.885 SV% performances as the German goaltender has only three quality starts through 11 games this season. The Kraken are slight -104 home underdogs against a Flames team that has collected a point in three straight (2-0-1).
