• Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Gets no help in loss

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Grubauer stopped 21 of 23 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers. 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.

At this point, even with the German netminder healthy, he seems to have fallen behind Daccord as the No. 2 option in Seattle.

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.
