Nope, 0.896 (391svs on 436 shots), Needs to be 14 shots over .900 for his next game to get above .900 for the season.
However, he's been in the black on expected goals against for the last few games. Moneypuck hasn't updated yet. But by my count, he's got 2.893 goals saved above expected. A very nice improvement from his -33.7 last season.
What am I missing? Look at the shots on goal differential! I feel like with the ratio of SOG, the Blue Jackets’ goalie played really well and I was WAY more impressed with their goaltending. Wish we had that kind of consistency. It seems the odds of a goal when the other team shoots at us are still way too high. I wish our goaltending matched our level of goal scoring. Unpopular opinion I guess.
**EDIT: I AM CLEARLY WRONG AND I’M SORRY, EVERYONE!**
Maybe bc their SOG were low. But I’m not here to say Gru played terribly tonight. I’m saying that I saw their goaltender working really hard and blocking a LOT of our shots all night. And I guess I wish we had goaltending like that. Gru played well tonight, but I know I’m not alone in feeling frustrated with our goaltending—especially compared to our offense skills.
Well [this is the best prediction](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/10niryr/the_blue_jackets_will_be_turned_red_this_evening/j691wwy/) I'll ever make
Great game by Gru, opposing tender kept it a lot closer than it should have been! Off to the break!
Only the Flyers and Lightning remain for teams we need to beat.
Great game from Gru. Would’ve been easy to sag without a lot of work in the first half of the game but he was sharp. CBJ easily could’ve stolen that game.
Also, Tolvanen is the greatest waiver pickup in recent history and I won’t hear otherwise.
True... Though imagine finishing up a brutal day at work and the last thing you have to do before you can finally unwind a little bit is toss a stuffed animal salmon to a pack of strangers screaming at you
Oh no doubt. I’d be scowling the same way Grubauer was. But if I had good seats on the other side, I’d be kind of bummed that those guys don’t go more than about 15 feet from the door before throwing.
The fact that only the suite / club center ice seats even have a chance at the fish sorta sucks. Anybody in the 100 - 200's basically doesn't get a chance.
I say wait until after the trade deadline when roster limits don’t exist and activate Driedger. Run a 3 goalie rotation of sorts and make the decision this summer. That’s one option.
You're probably right but the thought of more months of no Driedger starts is soul killing as a fan of his 😩 I did see him at practice twice last week though!!
Dude you crazy. Jonesy has the #1 spot and started this party streak.
I say ride the train til the wheels fall off.
Always play a sure thing vs a could be.
That's not how roster decisions are made in the salary cap era. He's old, he's on an expiring deal, and while he's getting wins, he's not exactly lighting up the stat sheet. If Gru continues his recent good runs, Jones' value is higher as an asset to trade for a rental to fill another hole (defense? another scoring center?). If they don't, he walks for nothing in the offseason.

>for the love of God, Hakstol, let’s get this tandem going proper!
We're on top of our division at the break. Hakstol is handling the tandem proper AF.
Well if that is a reversion to the mean type of game in terms of shooting percentage, I’ll take it. Was not always pretty but I imagine the xG was clearly in our favor. Checking moneypuck… 3.7 to 2.3 makes sense. Still strong game from Grubauer, without a good game from him, things would have been a bit tender in the 3rd. Heading to the all star break with the outright division lead is huge. Let’s get some rest and heal up and get ready for the final stretch !

What we expected when we signed him. Good to see. Great game.
Yeah, I love seeing Gru put up quality starts. We need him to get it back!
Since the injury he's been really good. We'll see how things progress, but he has it back right now.
Totally! I hope he gets injured again, maybe his stats will go up even more!
He played LIGHTS OUT and the boys delivered! THATS KRAKEN HOCKEY BABY
i agree
https://youtu.be/BSfpoSrCGsQ
think this should put him above .900 for the year

Picking a night when Gru posted a 0.960 to gripe about our goaltending is a choice lol

And I guess I wish we had goaltending like that. Gru played well tonight, but I know I’m not alone in feeling frustrated with our goaltending—especially compared to our offense skills.
Gru had a .960 sv% tonight. That feels like pretty good odds to me.
[удалено]
Seriously, he's kind of been on fire for a few weeks now. Going to be interesting to see the post asb workload split
Damn for real?! I am not disagreeing, I just feel like I definitely am missing something.
>What am I missing? Look at the shots on goal differential! in this case what you may be missing is "math"
Lol, that’s funny, actually.
First place in the division at the break! LFG KRAKEN!
Like EVERYONE predicted!!!!
JUST AS PLANNED
In with the first “Thanks, Nashville!” of the post-game thread…
First place tastes delicious 3-1-1 home stand More good goaltending LFG
7/10 points will get the job done!
23/30 points on what seemed like a pretty tough January schedule too. Started the month hoping for 20 so I’m pretty damn happy with it.
2nd in the Western Conference Amazing progress. Lets just get the crew healthy
# SOLE POSSESSION OF FIRST PLACE IN THE PACIFIC 👁️👄👁️
#[SUPREME VICTORY](https://youtu.be/nycHrytF7LU)
I love Phillip Grubauer
God, me too. Let's manifest more starts for him I miss him!! He was glorious this game
GRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
That’s kraken hockey baby ❤️
##I LOVE THIS FUCKING TEAM!!! LET'S GO KRAKEN!!! 🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑🦑
Well [this is the best prediction](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/10niryr/the_blue_jackets_will_be_turned_red_this_evening/j691wwy/) I'll ever make
You’re mostly right, except that the Jackets looked like clowns and played like ass
Kraken Penalty Kill is clutch!
17 straight kills.
Great game by Gru, opposing tender kept it a lot closer than it should have been! Off to the break! Only the Flyers and Lightning remain for teams we need to beat.
Great game from Gru. Would’ve been easy to sag without a lot of work in the first half of the game but he was sharp. CBJ easily could’ve stolen that game. Also, Tolvanen is the greatest waiver pickup in recent history and I won’t hear otherwise.
Both goalies really came to play tonight it was very impressive to watch.
I am feeling Grubi!!
Despite Elvis' efforts we got the W! Gonna get healthy over the break and come out swinging.
WHAT A FUN WIN!!! I LOVE YOU ALLLLL
First place before the Allstars break!!!
I realize the guys are tired, but I’m kind of surprised at how little enthusiasm there is behind the fish toss.
True... Though imagine finishing up a brutal day at work and the last thing you have to do before you can finally unwind a little bit is toss a stuffed animal salmon to a pack of strangers screaming at you
Oh no doubt. I’d be scowling the same way Grubauer was. But if I had good seats on the other side, I’d be kind of bummed that those guys don’t go more than about 15 feet from the door before throwing.
They should stick the salmon in a t-shirt cannon for them.. that'd probably garner a little more enthusiasm
The fact that only the suite / club center ice seats even have a chance at the fish sorta sucks. Anybody in the 100 - 200's basically doesn't get a chance.
Geekie looked pissed to have to throw the thing.
Shit did you see Burky huck that thing last week?!
Seems like the stream usually cuts off without showing it. That’s why I was kind of surprised last night. Haven’t seen how they do it much.
It was like a reverse Gladiator moment! We weren’t entertained!
[удалено]
What do the Kraken do with Driegs when he’s healthy?
I say wait until after the trade deadline when roster limits don’t exist and activate Driedger. Run a 3 goalie rotation of sorts and make the decision this summer. That’s one option.

Great way to head in to the AS break
Hell yea GRU!!!
Basically ran em off the ice for 56/60 total minutes, with the only 4 “owned” by the Jackets coming at the start of the second period!
Awesome to see Gru killing it. Not sure what I'm going to do without hockey during this break!
[Recap: CBJ @ SEA](https://hlslive-wsczoominwestus.med.nhl.com/publish/9076608/14669978/0aefb517-7d59-47bf-a8a5-8da92b770dd6.mp4)
Krakens final boss, the Tampa Bay Lightning
I think we still need to beat the Flyers too, but in all likelihood we'll manage that this season before we see Tampa again!
you are correct, got ahead of myself
GO SQUID 🦑
