Grubauer to Start Friday, Expanding Role for Kraken in Net

Philipp Grubauer will start in goal Friday against the Mammoth, marking his second start in three games. He recently took a loss versus the Wild on Monday, stopping 25 of 27 shots. Grubauer is carving out a larger role for the Seattle Kraken amidst Joey Daccord's recent struggles, and it's possible the two goalies will share the crease for a while going forward. This move signals a shift in the team's goaltending strategy.
