Seattle is scoring just 2.56 goals per game (29th in the NHL) on an 8.6 shooting percentage (27th). The Kraken have been struggling on the other side of the p uck, too, surrendering 3.50 goals per contest (tied-24th). At least, they are seventh in the league in power-play percentage (15-for-56).
Philipp Grubauer guarded the cage last Thursday and improved to 4-6-0 on the season. The 31-year-old netminder holds a 3.30 GAA and a .890 save percentage, but he’s emerged victorious in four of his previous six starts. Grubauer is projected to patrol the crease Saturday in Vancouver, while Joey Daccord (2-2-4; 3.00 GAA; .899 SV%) should serve as a backup.
