Philipp Grubauer (born 25 November 1991) is a German professional ice hockey goaltender for the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted by the Washington Capitals in the fourth round, 112th overall, at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing major junior hockey, Grubauer won the Memorial Cup with the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)'s Windsor Spitfires in 2010. He started his professional career with the Capitals the next season. In April 2015, while playing for the Capitals, Grubauer became the first German-born goaltender to start and win a Stanley Cup playoff game.[1] Grubauer won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Capitals in 2018. Grubauer would then spend three years with the Colorado Avalanche, before signing with the Kraken. Grubauer is the first Kraken goaltender to record a shutout, doing so in February 2022.[2] The next season, Grubauer would help the Kraken in their inaugural playoff run, helping them complete a historic upset over the Avalanche, before losing in the second round to the Dallas Stars.
Internationally, Grubauer represents Germany. He played at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge and IIHF World U18 Championship in 2008. Following his play in the 2009 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, Germany was relegated to Division I A. Grubauer helped Germany back to the Top Division in 2010. He also competed in the 2011 installment. Grubauer has participated in five senior World Championships: 2014, 2017, 2019, 2022, and 2024. In 2018, he competed in the qualification round for the 2018 Winter Olympics, helping Germany clich a spot.
