Philipp Grubauer's nightmarish season continued Tuesday as the Seattle Kraken placed him on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. There is no timetable for the 30-year-old netminder's return. He was struggling prior to the injury, losing both his starts while posting a .860 SV% and 3.77 GAA. Joey Daccord was recalled from the AHL in a corresponding move.
Grubauer will be looking for his first win of the 2022-23 season after dropping his last outing 5-1 to Carolina in a 29-save losing effort. He has struggled yet again after a rough first season in Seattle, as he currently is sporting a .851 SV% and 4.26 GAA in two starts on the year. He faces a very high-scoring Colorado team (4.25 GF) that is coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg its last time out.

Grubauer gets the start Monday as Seattle hosts the high-powered Carolina Hurricanes at home. The 11-year-veteran struggled mightily in the Krakens opening night loss to Anaheim, stopping 22 of 27 shots before losing 5-4 in overtime. He came in for relief against Vegas on Saturday, stopping six of six shots with Seattle taking the 5-2 loss.

For the second straight season, Grubauer will lead the Seattle Kraken between the pipes to start the year. The German netminder will bel looking to bounce back after a terrible first season in Seattle which saw him finish with a league-worst SV% (.899) and career-worst Win% as well as GAA (3.16). The 10-year veteran hopes to return to the career .914 SV% with a hot start against the Ducks.
