Edmonton Oilers fans are well-versed in the rivalries the Oilers have with the Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks, and Los Angeles Kings. However, one rivalry that a couple of the Oilers' best players enjoy is against the Seattle Kraken.
EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid scored in his return from a three-game suspension, and the Edmonton Oilers won 4-2 against the Seattle Kraken at Rogers Place on Monday.
Jiri Kulich had a goal and two assists and the Buffalo Sabres rallied to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Jaden Schwartz scores three goals and Joey Daccord made 17 of his 28 saves in the third period to lead the Seattle Kraken to a 4-2 win over the Kings.
It doesn't take advanced metrics to figure out Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer has struggled this season.
Grubauer has struggled in 21 starts this season, losing 16 of them. His .866 save percentage and 3.83 goals-against average rank last in the NHL this season among netminders who have played in at least 17 games.
No team is immune to the injury bug, including the Detroit Red Wings. It's rare for a team to go through an entire season without missing at least one player for an extended period of time. Thursday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers is the first of a four-game West Coast road trip.
SEATTLE -- Philipp Grubauer cleared waivers and was assigned to Coachella Valley of the American Hockey League by the Seattle Kraken on Thursday. Grubauer is 5-15-1 with a 3.83 goals-against average and .866 save percentage in 21 games. His GAA and save percentage are last among the 54 goalies to play at least 15 games this season.
The National Hockey League waiver wire has just been littered with big names this week for the Vancouver Canucks to potentially claim. First, it was St.
The Canucks are quickly falling out of the playoff race in the Western Conference, and this player could help them turn things around.
Joey Daccord made 27 saves Monday night, but the Kraken fell behind the Edmonton Oilers for good midway through a 4-2 loss in Edmonton.
