The Seattle Kraken just started their second campaign in the National Hockey League and let's be honest, they're pretty much what you would expect, lacklustre goaltending, little offence and struggling to keep up with the rest of the league. Things might've just gotten a little worse.
According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, goaltender Philipp Grubauer left last nights 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche in the the third period.
For a team that has struggled mightily in net already throughout their tenure in the NHL, this is the last thing they need.
Granted, Grubaur wasn't doing so well this season to this point carrying a 0-1-1 record though four games this season with a 3.77 goals against average and a .860 save percentage.
Things were already bad in net for the Kraken and it seems they just got worse
