It has been a tough debut season for the expansion Seattle Kraken, and starting goalie Philipp Grubauer especially. Grubauer was supposed to be one of the main pieces of the Kraken roster this season and one of the players that was supposed to help them be competitive. It has not worked out as planned as Grubauer, and by extension the Kraken, has struggled this season. On Wednesday he made some more first year history for the Kraken when he recorded his first shutout of the season, and the first shutout in Kraken franchise history, when he stopped all 19 shots he faced in a 3-0 win against the New York Islanders.
