The Seattle Kraken put goaltender Philipp Grubauer on waivers Wednesday with the purpose of sending him to the minors, and he would be assigned to the American Hockey League’s Coachella Valley Firebirds if he clears.

Right-winger Oliver Bjorkstrand has posted stats similar to the ones he had in Columbus but hasn’t provided that necessary jolt. In fact, that jolt doesn’t exist, as the Kraken now are without a player among the top 50 goal scorers in the league.
