Impact Grubauer was spotted a 1-0 lead early, but the Lightning quickly responded. They held a 2-1 lead at the first intermission and ran away with the game in the third period.

The 33-year-old is 3-9-0 with a 3.50 GAA and an .879 save percentage over his 12 starts this season. It wouldn't be surprising to see Joey Daccord get the nod versus the Senators on Tuesday.

Stands tall in win Grubauer stopped 33 of 34 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact Grubauer won his second start in a row, and this was arguably his best game of the year. The 33-year-old limited the damage to a Brad Marchand penalty shot in the second period, which came after Brandon Montour covered the puck in the crease when Grubauer couldn't find it. Grubauer is now 3-8-0 with a 3.46 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 11 outings. Joey Daccord has been the better of the Kraken's goalies this season, but getting Grubauer into form could create some internal competition for time in the crease. The Kraken have a challenging home game Saturday when they host the Lightning.

Starting against Devils Grubauer will start on the road versus the Devils, per Sound of Hockey.

Impact Grubauer has lost five straight starts, allowing 19 goals on 130 shots (.854 save percentage) over that stretch. The 33-year-old netminder will handle the second half of a back-to-back, but the Devils are a tough opponent. They have averaged 3.54 goals per game this season.

Cannot catch a break Grubauer made 19 saves in an 8-5 loss to the Sharks on Friday. He allowed seven goals.

Impact Friday's shinny game was great for fans, but bad for netminders and especially bad for one with just a single win on the season. Grubauer's season has been more than a struggle, and he sits with a 1-7-0 record, 3.62 GAA and .862 save percentage. He last recorded a season with a save percentage above .899 in 2020-21 (.922; Colorado). Yikes. Grubauer is better served on the wire, where some other manager might think he's worth the risk.

Starting Friday Grubauer will patrol the road crease Friday against the Sharks, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact The 32-year-old has been struggling all season long and has gone 1-6-0 with a 3.11 GAA and an .881 save percentage over seven starts. This will be his first start since Nov. 17, when he lost 2-0 to the Rangers. The Sharks average 2.64 goals per game this season, the 10th-worst mark in the league.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Gets no help in loss Grubauer stopped 21 of 23 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers.

Impact 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.
