AutoDraft Pro AI

Philipp Grubauer was the first goalie off the ice during Thursday's practice, indicating he will start in the Global Series clash against the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite posting a 3-2-1 record over his last six appearances, the 34-year-old netminder has struggled with consistency, surrendering three or more goals in five of those six outings. Given the heavy travel demands of the Global Series, teammate Joey Daccord is expected to start Saturday.
