The Seattle Kraken hope that goaltender Philipp Grubauer can regain his form playing for AHL Coachella Valley after his struggles reached a breaking point this week for the team.

SEATTLE — Brandon Montour scored twice, and the Seattle Kraken rode a four-goal second period to a 6-2 win over the San Jose Sharks at Climate Pledge Arena on Thursday.

The Seattle Kraken have waived goaltender Philipp Grubauer on Wednesday following a recent rough stretch of games. This season has been one to forget for the German netminder with a 5-15-1 record, a brutal 3.83 goals against average and a measly .866 save percentage.

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.

Defenseman Brandon Montour scored twice and Chandler Stephenson added a goal and two assists as the Seattle Kraken defeated the visiting San Jose Sharks 6-2 on Thursday.

Kraken defenseman Brandon Montour ended a 20-game goal drought, and Seattle scored four times in 5:49 to blow out San Jose on Thursday night.

The Kraken have a deep pool in terms of quantity and the addition of Berkly Catton gives them a star prospect at the top.

The San Jose Sharks and Seattle Kraken face off Thursday night at Climate Pledge Arena, with puck drop set for 10:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
