Grubauer was the first goalie off the ice at the Kraken morning skate.

Grubauer stopped 21 of 23 shots for his third win in four games as he beat Detroit in his previous starts. The 31-year-old has really stepped up his game in the previous month, leading to him taking the majority of starts and his 8-9-3 record, 2.81 GAA and .900 SV%. He takes on the NHL-leading Boston Bruins, who are in the middle of a four-game winning streak after their 3-1 victory over Ottawa last game.

The Kraken have placed Andre Burakovsky (lower-body) on IR.

Burakovsky left Seattle's previous game vs. the Islanders after just one shift and 0:21 TOI due to a lower-body injury and has been placed on the injured-reserve Thursday. The 28-year-old left winger had 13 goals, 26 assists, 105 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus in 49 games in his first season with the Kraken.

Matty Beniers is not available for the Krakens' final two games before the All-Star break (upper body).

Beniers left the Krakens' previous game vs. Vancouver after 9:52 TOI due to an upper-body injury and will miss their next two games this weekend (Calgary and Columbus). The 20-year-old leads the Norris Trophy race with his 17 goals, 19 assists, 92 SOG, and a +8 plus/minus through 47 games prior to the injury.

Beniers (upper-body) is questionable to play Friday vs. the Flames.

Beniers was forced to leave Wednesday's game vs. the Canucks after a hit from Tyler Myers and did not return. The Kraken did not have much of an update on Beniers' status post-game, so consider him questionable to play Friday against Calgary.
