Grubauer was waived by the Kraken in late January, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Nikke Kokko was sent down. Joey Daccord has been inconsistent recently, going 3-3-1 with a 3.21 GAA and .901 save percentage over his last seven appearances, so it's possible Grubauer gets some chances to tend the twine late in the season.

Kraken goalie Philipp Grubauer appreciated the chance to get consistent playing time with Coachella Valley but chose not to rehash what led to his demotion.
