Grubauer was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Islanders.

Grubauer has struggled since putting together a four-game winning streak. He's gone 1-1-2 with a 3.20 GAA and an .884 save percentage over his last four outings. The Islanders have posted 2.88 goals per game this season, which ties the team for 22nd in the NHL.
