He would also compete in the 2011 installment. Grubauer would participate in the senior World Championships in 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2022. In 2018, he would compete in the qualification round for the 2018 Winter Olympics, helping Germany qualify

Playing career

Early career (2004–2011)

Grubauer began his career in Germany, playing for his hometown's junior team, Starbulls Rosenheim, beginning in 2004 at the age of 13. ^[3] The Starbulls played in the Oberliga, the third tier of German ice hockey. During the 2007–08 season, Grubauer played 23 games for the Starbulls' under-18 team, as well as five games with the senior club. His debut with the senior club on would come on 17 February 2008, aged 16, in a 2–0 shutout victory. ^[4] Following the season, in the relegation round, the Starbulls' primary goaltender was not playing well. The team's coach would then approach Grubauer and tell him he would play, to which he would respond, "Okay." Rosenheim would win the game 2–1. Grubauer would play six more games, saving the team from relegation. ^[5]

Following the 2007–08 season, Grubauer moved to North America to play with the Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) after being selected 25th overall in the 2008 CHL Import Draft. ^[6]

Grubauer with the Windsor Spitfires in 2010.

With the Bulls, Grubauer served as the back-up goaltender to Mike Murphy for the 2008–09 season, so he would only play 17 games. ^[7] He would become the team's starter in 2009–10. In that season, he played in 31 games for the Bulls before being traded on 4 January 2010 to the Windsor Spitfires in a seven player deal. ^[8] At the age of 18, Grubauer would help the Spitfires win the Memorial Cup for the second consecutive year in May 2010. Grubauer would lead all goaltenders in the tournament with a .930 save percentage and a 2.14 goals against average (GAA). ^[9]

On 26 June 2010, Grubauer was selected in the fourth round, 112th overall, by the Washington Capitals in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. ^[10]

Just a few days after the NHL Draft, Grubauer, along with Windsor's first-round 2010 CHL Import Draft pick, was traded to the Kingston Frontenacs in exchange for Nick Czinder, A. J. Jarosz, Kingston's first-round pick in the 2010 CHL Import Draft, and Kingston's second- and seventh-round (conditional) picks in the 2011 OHL Priority Selection. ^[11] Grubauer would sign a three-year, entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals on 4 October 2010 as his season with the Frontenacs began. ^[12]

Grubauer would play 38 games with the Frontenacs, achieving a 22–13–3 record with a .903 save percentage and 3.62 GAA, ^[13] before falling ill with mononucleosis in February. He returned to Germany to recuperate and missed the rest of the season, which was his final age-eligible season in the OHL. ^[14]

Professional

Washington Capitals (2011–2018)

Grubauer returned to the ice for the first time since his bout with mononucleosis at the Capitals' 2011–12 season development camp. He reported that he had lost 20 pounds while ill. ^[15] Following training camp in September, Grubauer was eventually assigned to the South Carolina Stingrays, the ECHL affiliate of the Capitals. ^[16] Grubauer was recalled to the American Hockey League (AHL)'s Hershey Bears on 12 October 2011, ^[17] but did not play any games and returned to the Stingrays on 23 October. ^[18] On 8 November 2011, the ECHL announced that Grubauer had been named the Reebok Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Week for the week of 31 October to 6 November, as Grubauer went 3–0–0 with one shutout, a 1.00 GAA and a .960 save percentage during that span. ^[19] Grubauer was named the ECHL's Goaltender of the Month for November. In eight games with the Stingrays in November, he went 6–1–1 with one shutout, a 1.73 GAA and a .935 save percentage. ^[20] Grubauer was named ECHL Rookie of the Month in January and at the conclusion of the season, was named to the ECHL All-Rookie Team for 2011–12. ^[21]

In the 2012–13 season, the Washington Capitals' ECHL affiliation would become the Reading Royals. Grubauer split the season between Reading and Hershey, moving up to Hershey when the NHL ended their labour lockout and when goaltenders Braden Holtby was promoted to Washington full-time for the 2012–13 season. ^[22] On 23 February 2013, Grubauer would record his first AHL shutout, making 40 saves in a 3–0 victory over the Adirondack Phantoms. ^[23] A few days later, on 27 February 2013, Grubauer would make his NHL debut with the Capitals in relief of Holtby in a 4–1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, stopping all 14 shots faced in just over 25 minutes of play. ^[24] Grubauer would then make his first NHL start on 9 March 2013, in a 5–2 loss to the New York Islanders. He faced 45 shots in the game, stopping 40. ^[25]

For the 2013–14 season, Grubauer's place in the hierarchy fell behind Holtby and Michal Neuvirth, so he would play most of the season with Hershey. On 29 November 2013, Neuvirth suffered a leg injury during warmups, which would allow Grubauer a spot with Washington. ^[26] Over the season, Grubauer would play 17 games with the Capitals. He would go 6–5–5 and manage a .925 save percentage and 2.38 GAA. ^[27]

Grubauer would play most of the 2014–15 season with Hershey. In April of 2015, Grubauer would find another opportunity to play with the Capitals after Holtby would fall ill. On 17 April 2015, Grubauer would become the first German goaltender to start a playoff game, a 4–3 win against the New York Islanders in the second game of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. ^[28] On 15 June, Grubauer would be re-signed to a two-year, $1.5 million contract with the Capitals. ^[29]

On 6 July 2017, the Capitals re-signed Grubauer to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. ^[30] During the 2017–18 season, Grubauer recorded a career-high 15 wins in 28 starts. Grubauer was the Capitals' starter to begin the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs after a strong (7–3–0) record in 10 of the final 16 games in the Capitals' regular season. ^[31] Grubauer made 23 saves in a 4–3 overtime loss in Game One against the Columbus Blue Jackets. ^[32] However, Holtby permanently took over the goaltending duties from Grubauer after replacing him during Game 2 of the series. ^[33] The Capitals ended up winning the Stanley Cup after defeating the Vegas Golden Knights in five games. ^[34]

Colorado Avalanche (2018–2021)

On 22 June 2018, Grubauer and Brooks Orpik were traded to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for a 2018 second-round pick during the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. ^[35] The following day, the Avalanche re-signed Grubauer to a three-year, $10 million contract extension. ^[36]

For the 2018–19 season, Grubauer recorded an 18–9–5 record and a .917 save percentage during the regular season, but a second-half surge would lead him to be named Colorado's starting goaltender for the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs. ^[37] He helped lead the Avalanche to a first-round upset over the first-place Calgary Flames, ^[38] but lost in Round 2 to the San Jose Sharks in seven games. ^[39] Grubauer recorded a 7–5 record with a 2.30 goals against average and .925 save percentage during the playoffs. ^[40]

During the 2019 off-season, goaltender Semyon Varlamov signed a free-agent deal with the New York Islanders, cementing Grubauer's place as Colorado's starter. However injuries would again hamper his 2019–20 season and ended up splitting time with Pavel Francouz. He made 36 starts in the regular season and went 5–1 with a 1.87 goals against average in seven playoffs starts before suffering an injury in the Second Round. ^[41]

Grubauer bounced back from his playoffs injury and had the best season of his career during the shortened 2020–21 NHL season. With accomplished backup Pavel Francouz injured the entire season, Grubauer had a heavy workload and started 39 of 56 contests. He finished the regular season with a record of 30–9–1, a goals against average of 1.95, a save percentage of .922, and 7 shutouts despite missing two weeks in April with a COVID-19 diagnosis. His win total was second only to Andrei Vasilevskiy (31) and his goals against average was second only to Alex Nedeljkovic (1.90), who played in 17 fewer games than Grubauer. Grubauer's save percentage was good for ninth on the season and he tied for the league lead in shutouts with Semyon Varlamov. ^[42] On 10 May 2021, with his team needing a regulation win in order to prevent the Vegas Golden Knights from winning both the division and the Presidents' Trophy, Grubauer stopped 36 of 37 shots in a 2–1 victory. ^[43] The Avalanche would go on to win their division and the Presidents Trophy for the third time in franchise history three days later after defeating the Los Angeles Kings 5–1 at Ball Arena in the 56th and final game of the regular season. On 1 June 2021, Grubauer was named a Vezina finalist for the first time in his career along with Vasilevskiy and Marc-André Fleury. ^[44]

Grubauer continued his stellar play in the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs as the Avalanche swept the St. Louis Blues in the West Division First Round and took the first two games of the West Division Second Round series from the Golden Knights. After defeating the Knights 3–2 in overtime in the second game and making a postseason career-high 39 saves, Grubauer became only the 10th goaltender in NHL history to record 10 or more consecutive victories in the postseason, joining elite company. He also broke famed Avalanche goaltender Patrick Roy's longstanding franchise record for a postseason win streak by attaining his sixth straight win. Roy had previously held the record with five straight wins which he set three separate times. ^[45]

Seattle Kraken (2021–present)

On 28 July 2021, as a free agent and unable to come to terms with the Avalanche, Grubauer opted to sign a six-year, $35.4 million contract to join the new expansion club, the Seattle Kraken. ^[46] He would become the first Seattle Kraken goaltender to record a shutout on 2 February 2022, defeating the New York Islanders 3–0. ^[47]

International play

Junior

Grubauer has appeared in several international competitions, representing Germany. He participated in the 2008 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, where Germany placed ninth in the tournament; Grubauer was named to the tournament's All-Star team after posting a .909 save percentage and 3.49 GAA. ^[48]

Three months following the 2008 U-17 Hockey Challenge, Grubauer, sharing goaltending duties with Felix Brückmann, played in the 2008 IIHF World U18 Championships, held in Kazan, Russia. Germany placed fifth in the tournament, and Grubauer was selected as Germany's Player of the Game in Germany's 9–2 loss to Canada on the first day of round robin play. ^[49]

At the age of 17, Grubauer participated in the 2009 World Junior Championships in Ottawa, Ontario. However, Germany won just one game in the tournament, and following a ninth-place finish, were relegated to Division I for the 2010 World Junior Championships. ^[50]

Grubauer gained attention while competing for Germany in Division I of the 2010 World Junior Championships in Megève and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France. Germany placed first in their group, winning all five of their games in order to put them back in the Top Division for the 2011 World Junior Championships. Germany's success was largely due to the play of Grubauer, who posted a 0.64 GAA and a .974 save percentage in five games. ^[50]

Grubauer then participated in the 2011 World Junior Championships in Buffalo and Lewiston, New York, but Germany performed similarly to the 2009 World Junior Championships and finished tenth, sending them back to Division I for 2012. Grubauer recorded losses for all four games he started in the tournament. ^[50]

Senior

Grubauer's first senior international tournament would come at the 2014 IIHF World Championships, representing Germany. ^[51] On 12 May 2014, would achieve his first ever international win a 3–2 victory over Latvia. ^[52] Germany would end up placing 14th in the tournament.
