Grubauer will tend the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, per Circling Seattle Sports.

Grubauer will get back between the pipes after resting versus the Wild on Saturday. Joey Daccord has struggled to get on track this season, with Grubauer overtaking him for the No. 1 job between the pipes in Seattle. Grubauer has won four of his last five starts despite allowing 15 goals in that span.

Wood (undisclosed) was transferred to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

This move was necessary to create cap space for the activation of Dakota Joshua (abdomen) from LTIR. Wood has had no established timeline for a return, but he will be required to miss at least three more games.

Joshua (abdomen) was activated from long-term injured reserve Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Joshua will be a candidate to be in the Maple Leafs' lineup Wednesday versus the Kraken. However, Alter notes there were some delays in getting his equipment to Seattle for the game, which could prevent Joshua from making his return. He should be available for Saturday's game in Vancouver at the latest, and Joshua will be in the mix for bottom-six minutes.

Woll is set to start on the road against Washington on Wednesday.

Woll has a 1-4-2 record, 2.99 GAA and .904 save percentage in seven outings in 2026-27. He'll be looking to rebound after stopping just 21 of 26 shots in a 5-4 loss to Anaheim on Saturday. He'll be up against a hot Washington team that has won three of its past four games to improve to 6-4-0 on the season.

Dickinson (undisclosed) was signed Wednesday versus Calgary.

Dickinson has an assist in three appearances in 2026-27. He hasn't played since Oct. 13, but he might end up being a healthy scratch Wednesday despite being available.

Brazeau (lower body) was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning loan Wednesday.

Brazeau has been sidelined for the start of the regular season due to his lower-body injury, but Wednesday's move signals that he's trending in the right direction in his recovery process. It's not yet clear when he'll be in the mix to appear in games at the NHL level, but the 28-year-old will likely have a chance to carve out a regular role for Pittsburgh once he's fully healthy.

Pietila was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Pietila was called up by the Penguins on Thursday, but he didn't make his NHL debut during his stint with Pittsburgh. The 22-year-old has recorded two assists and 11 PIM across his first five regular-season appearances in the AHL this year.

Hayes was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Hayes was called up by the Penguins on Saturday and appeared in the team's 3-2 victory over the Predators, generating five shots on goal and three hits in 12:43 of ice time. However, he'll head back to the minors, where he should see more consistent opportunities to contribute.

Soderblom (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

The Penguins announced Tuesday that Soderblom was considered day-to-day due to his upper-body injury, and the 25-year-old will be unavailable for multiple games after landing on injured reserve. Prior to sustaining his injury, he had recorded an assist, 15 hits and four blocked shots while averaging 11:25 of ice time over his first six appearances of the regular season.

Bobrovsky is expected to start on the road against Seattle on Wednesday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

Bobrovsky has a 3-4-2 record, 3.09 GAA and .897 save percentage in nine appearances in 2026-27. He's allowed at least three goals in eight of his nine outings this year. Seattle has a 7-4-1 record and ranks seventh in 3.58 goals per game.
