Grubauer Takes Tough Loss on Saturday
Philipp Grubauer made 22 saves in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to the Oilers. It’s the 32-year-old netminder’s first loss in six outings since he returned from a lower-body injury just after the All-Star break, but it took a heroic effort from Stuart Skinner in the other crease to keep the Kraken out of the win column. Grubauer appears to be reclaiming the starting job in Seattle from Joey Daccord — he’s started three straight games, and since rejoining the lineup, Grubauer has posted a 1.56 GAA and .942 save percentage to go along with his 4-1-0 record.
Kadri Goes End-to-End on Power Play
Nazem Kadri scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday’s 4-3 win over the Penguins. Kadri did it all himself on an end-to-end rush in the third period, with his goal cutting the deficit to 3-2. The center has been excellent of late, racking up six goals and two assists over his last seven outings. For the season, he’s up to 22 tallies, 52 points (11 on the power play), 191 shots on net, 50 hits and a plus-4 rating through 60 appearances.
