Moritz Seider To Captain Germany At Worlds
Germany's initial 25-man roster for the 2025 IIHF World Championship includes three players who played in the NHL this season and three others who are currently under contract to NHL teams. The captain of the team is Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider. The alternates are Jonas Müller, Marc Michaelis and Dominik Kahun. 'It's obviously an absolute honor for me to hold this position, and it fills me with great pride,' said Seider. 'I'll also be following in big footsteps and I'm counting on the support of the others in the locker room. We're really looking forward to the World Championship because we're in a good group and we're optimistic about the tournament.' Besides NHLers Seider, Philipp Grubauer and Lukas Reichel, AHLer Maksymilian Szuber and Kahun, who plays in Switzerland, the remainder of the roster comes from the domestic DEL. That includes seven from champion Eisbären Berlin, four from Red Bull Munich and three each from Adler Mannheim and ERC Ingolstadt. Goaltenders: Mathias Niederberger (Red Bull Munich), Arno Tiefensee (Adler Mannheim / Dallas Stars), Philipp Grubauer (Seattle Kraken). Defensemen: Korbinian Geibel, Eric Mik, Jonas Müller (all Eisbären Berlin), Leon Hüttl, Fabio Wagner (both ERC Ingolstadt), Lukas Kälble (Adler Mannheim), Moritz Seider (Detroit Red Wings), Maksymilian Szuber (Tucson Roadrunners, AHL / Utah HC). Forwards: Marcel Noebels, Leo Pföderl, Frederik Tiffels, Manuel Wiederer (all Eisbären Berlin), Yasin Ehliz, Patrick Hager, Maximilian Kastner (all Red Bull Munich), Alexander Ehl (Düsseldorfer EG), Marc Michaelis (Adler Mannheim), Joshua Samanski (Straubing Tigers / Edmonton Oilers), Justin Schütz (Kölner Haie), Wojciech Stachowiak (ERC Ingolstadt), Dominik Kahun (Lausanne HC, SUI), Lukas Reichel (Chicago Blackhawks). 2026 Olympics will see best German team ever The Germans have had some very good results internationally in recent years, including a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics and another silver at the 2023 IIHF World Championship. They've had some very good young talent to work with but they haven't had a chance to put all of their best players together on one team since the 2010 Winter Olympics. They've improved a lot since then. In fact, it's no stretch to say the 2026 Winter Olympics will feature the greatest German ice hockey team ever assembled.

Seattle Kraken put struggling goaltender Philipp Grubauer on waivers
SEATTLE — 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. Grubauer has struggled in 21 starts this season, losing 16 of them. His .866 save percentage and 3.83 goals-against average rank last in the NHL this season among netminders who have played in at least 17 games. The 33-year-old German has two more seasons left on his contract at a salary cap hit of $5.9 million, which ranks 14th and 11th highest for goalies signed for 2025-26 and 2026-27, respectively. That makes it highly unlikely he is claimed by any of the league's other 31 teams, even with the cap expected to increase dramatically. Grubauer was the Washington Capitals' playoff-opening Game 1 starter when they won the Cup in 2018, and he was a Vezina Trophy finalist with Colorado in 2021. He has appeared in 412 regular-season and playoff games with the Capitals, Avalanche and Hurricanes since making his debut in the league in 2013.

Kraken Place Goaltender Philipp Grubauer On Waivers
The Seattle Kraken have placed goaltender Philipp Grubauer on waivers. The #SeaKraken have placed goaltender Philipp Grubauer on waivers for the purpose of being assigned to the Coachella Valley @Firebirds. — Seattle Kraken PR (@SeattleKrakenPR) January 29, 2025 The 33-year-old netminder had another difficult outing last night, allowing five goals on 22 shots. He now has a 5-15-1 record with a .866 SV% and a 3.83 GAA. Both stats are the worst of his career. The Kraken signed Grubauer to a six-year, $5.9M AAV contract to be their starting goaltender back in July 2021 and is now in year four of the contract. His star-studded performances from the Washington Capitals and the Colorado Avalanche failed to come along with him to Seattle and has now left GM Ron Francis and the Kraken organization with limited options. Dan Bylsma said the #SeaKraken hung Philipp Grubauer out to dry. We asked if that happens disproportionately more when Grubauer plays than when Daccord plays. Dan's response: 'No.' — Sound Of Hockey (@sound_hockey) January 29, 2025 His high cap hit and poor performances almost guarantee that he'll clear waivers and when he does, the German goaltender will join the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Grubauer has accumulated 105 games of AHL experience which came with the Hershey Bears. The last time Grubauer played an AHL game was in the 2014-15 season. At the moment it's unknown what the plan is for Grubauer. How long he stays with the Firebirds and what happens if his struggling play continues in the AHL is undetermined.
