Seattle Kraken place goaltender Philipp Grubauer on IR, recall Chris Driedger

Joey Daccord came in the third period, gave up two goals, including the game-winner in overtime to Nikita Kucherov, as the Lightning stole a 4-3 win.

Grubauer has had injury troubles ever since he left the Washington Capitals. The majority of his injuries have been lower body, including to his groin. He missed a couple of games earlier this season, and was out for almost a month early on in the 2022-23 campaign.

Driedger has not played in the NHL since the Kraken’s inaugural season, missing most of last season recovering from a torn ACL. In 15 games in the AHL this year, the former Florida Panther has a 9-5-1 record, with a 2.20 goals-against average, a .916 save percentage and two shutouts.

In 65 appearances in the NHL, Driedger is 58-30-23 with a 2.45 GAA, .917 SV% and five shutouts.

The Kraken also lost defenseman Justin Schultz during the game with an upper-body injury. His status is unknown, but Seattle also called up d-man Jaycob Megna from the Firebirds.

Megna has been up and down in the NHL since making his debut during the 2016-17 season with the Anaheim Ducks. The 31-year-old has played 141 games in his career, including six this season with the Kraken. Though he has not registered a point with Seattle, Megna has four goals and 21 assists in his NHL career.

The Kraken (8-13-7) is scheduled to host the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night. They are sixth in the Pacific Division with 23 points, five back of a Wild Card spot.
