Philipp Grubauer will start Saturday vs. Calgary.

Grubauer will start his third straight contest as Seattle takes on Calgary Saturday after winning his last two contests by stopping a combined 66 of 71 shots against (.929 SV%). The 31-year-old has looked much like his normal self for the first time since joining Seattle in 2023-24, as he holds a .909 SV%, 2.83 GAA and 2-4-0 record. He takes on one of the NHL's coldest teams in the Calgary Flames, who have lost six straight games and are 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.2).

Philipp Grubauer will start Monday vs. Tampa Bay.

Grubauer will return to the crease for the Kraken on Monday after serving as backup to Joey Daccord for the last three games. Through four games (0-4-0), Grubauer has a 3.04 GAA and .896 SV%, totals that are disappointing but on par with expectations since he joined the Kraken. In his first nine NHL seasons, Grubauer put together a tremendous 2.34 GAA and .920 SV% in 241 games (109-61-21). In his third season now with the Kraken, he has amassed an ugly 3.04 GAA and .891 SV%.

Frederick Gaudreau (upper body) did not travel with the team to Philadelphia.

Gaudreau did not travel with the team as they head to Philadelphia and is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. The 30-year-old forward has yet to pick up a point through five games after putting up 19 goals and 38 points in 82 games with the Wild in 2022-23. More updates and clarity should be provided on Gaudreau's health in the upcoming days.

Daccord will start in Detroit on Tuesday.

Daccord will start for the Kraken on Tuesday, giving him three of the team's last five starts. The 27-year-old has never had more than six starts in a season but seems to be well on his way to surpass that as he has gained the trust of the Kraken coaching staff. In two games (1-0-1), Daccord has a .240 GAA and .918 SV% and could continue to see a fair share of action in the crease if he continues to give his team a chance to win every night. He will have his work cut out for him tonight though, as the Kraken visit the high-scoring Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings are averaging a league-best 5.00 goals scored per game.
