PHILIPP GRUBAUER NEWS

Looks ready for season Grubauer stopped 28 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 preseason win over the Oilers.

Impact Grubauer struggled in his first two preseason outings, but he bounced back well in his third and final start of the exhibition slate. The Oilers scored twice in a span of 1:51 in the middle of the second period, but the Kraken, with a mostly NHL lineup, rallied back as Grubauer closed the door in the third. The 32-year-old netminder is poised to share the crease with Joey Daccord early in 2024-25, but it's possible head coach Dan Bylsma opts to ride the hot hand. The Kraken open their regular season Tuesday at home versus the Blues.
