Philipp Grubauer is poised to take the ice for Team Germany as they face off against Denmark this Thursday at the 2026 Winter Games. The Seattle Kraken’s goaltender has been enjoying a solid season, sporting an 11-6-3 record, a 2.43 goals-against average, and an impressive .916 save percentage across 22 appearances this year.
This matchup marks the opening game of the tournament for both Denmark and Germany. While Grubauer will encounter a mix of talent on the ice, he won’t be going head-to-head with many NHL players. However, he will have to keep a close eye on Denmark’s noteworthy forwards, including Oliver Bjorkstrand, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Lars Eller.
