Grubauer stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.
Grubauer limited the damage to an Alex Ovechkin power-play goal in the third period. The 34-year-old Grubauer has won just three of his last six games (3-2-1) with 15 goals allowed in that span, which has been enough for him to see a majority of the starts in January. It looked like the Kraken were pivoting to a hot-hand approach in the crease, but Joey Daccord didn't get the net after his win Sunday over the Devils, so Grubauer may still have a slight advantage. For the season, Grubauer has been good with an 11-5-3 record, a 2.34 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 21 appearances. The Kraken host the Maple Leafs on Thursday.

Grubauer has started five of the Kraken's last seven games, but he's just 2-2-1 with 14 goals allowed in that span.

He's now at a 10-5-3 record with a 2.41 GAA and a .918 save percentage. Considering the recent workload pattern, Joey Daccord seems likely to get the nod Sunday at home versus the Devils.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Loses in overtime
Rotowire
Grubauer allowed three goals on 34 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Grubauer allowed two goals in the first period, but he settled in after that to give the Kraken time to pull even. Mats Zuccarello scored on him in overtime, ending Grubauer's four-game winning streak, but this was another steady performance for the German netminder. He's posted a save percentage north of .900 in seven of his last eight outings, a level of performance that's pushed him into a timeshare with Joey Daccord. Grubauer is at an 8-3-2 record with a 2.27 GAA and a .925 save percentage over 15 contests. Should the even split of playing time continue, Daccord would get Saturday's road game versus the Hurricanes while Grubauer can be penciled in for a start at Madison Square Garden against the Rangers on Monday.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Strong in win over Flyers
Rotowire
Grubauer stopped 31 of 32 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
Grubauer stood tall to pick up his second straight win. The 34-year-old netminder has carved out a fairly even share of playing time with Joey Daccord in the Kraken crease lately, and if Grubauer can maintain that split, he'll have some appeal in fantasy. He's put together a decent season with a 6-3-1 record, a 2.44 GAA and a .917 save percentage in 12 appearances so far. Look for Daccord to get the starting nod Monday versus the Canucks, and the goalies are likely to split another back-to-back set later in the week as well.

Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: In net versus Philly
Rotowire
Grubauer will patrol the home blue paint against the Flyers on Sunday, according to Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum.
Grubauer snapped his three-game losing streak in his last start, turning in a stellar 40-save effort during a 3-1 win over the Ducks on Monday. That was his first victory since Nov. 22, so it's difficult to trust the 34-year-old netminder given that the Kraken rank 31st in the league with 2.54 goals per game. As for the Flyers, they are coming off back-to-back wins against the Canucks and Blackhawks, netting a combined eight goals in those victories.
