Mrazek will likely start for the third time in four games on Tuesday when the Blackhawks visit the high-flying Edmonton Oilers. Mrazek has been tremendous in his last two games, saving 75 of 76 shots (.987 SV%) in victories against the St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks, but will have a much more daunting task ahead of him on Tuesday. The Blackhawks are significant +387 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team that has won seven straight games.
Mrazek has allowed nine goals on 63 shots (.857 SV%) over his past two games but will look to put together a stronger performance as the starter for the Blackhawks in one of their more favourable matchups this season. The Blackhawks, losers of four straight (0-3-1), are slight -102 home underdogs against an Anaheim Ducks team that has lost nine of their last 10 (1-9-0) and ranks fifth worst in the league offensively (2.72 GF / GP).

Mrazek will return to Chicago's crease on Sunday after Arvid Soderblom got the nod in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to the Jets. Mrazek is coming off a disappointing performance in Thursday night's game in Detroit, allowing five goals on just 29 shots in the 5-1 loss. He draws another difficult matchup on Sunday with the Blackhawks being +240 underdogs in Minnesota.
After a string of poor performances and sitting for two straight games, Mrazek will start consecutive games after a strong showing in the Blackhawks' 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday, saving 33 of 36 shots (.917 SV%). Mrazek and the Blackhawks are sizeable +182 road underdogs against his former team, the Detroit Red Wings, who will likely be without Dylan Larkin. In his career, Mrazek has had strong results against his former club, despite a 3.07 GAA and .883 SV%, recording a 7-2-1 record.

Mrazek has not played the last two games for the Blackhawks but will make his return to the crease on Tuesday. Mrazek has been mostly solid this season, posting a 3.24 GAA and .904 SV% in 11 games (4-6-0), but is in the midst of his worst three-game stretch of the season (0-3-0), allowing 11 goals on 69 combined shots (.841 SV%). The Blackhawks have lost six of their last seven (1-6-0) and are +165 home underdogs against a Seattle Kraken team that has at least a point in five of their last six (3-1-2).

Mrazek will look to snap a two-game losing streak as he takes the crease Wednesday in Columbus. The 31-year-old has enjoyed an impressive bounce-back season after two rough campaigns in a row, as he is 4-5-0 with a .915 SV% and 2.89 GAA this year. They will head to Columbus to take on the downfalling Blue Jackets, who have lost nine straight and are 27th in the NHL in goals (2.68).
Mrazek will look for his third consecutive victory on Thursday as the starting goalie against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Blackhawks rank in the bottom third of the league defensively, allowing an average of 3.46 goals per game. That said, Mrazek has quietly put together an impressive 2023-24 campaign thus far, boasting a 2.84 GAA and .921 SV% through eight contests (4-3-0). The Blackhawks are +160 home underdogs but have an intriguing matchup against the Lightning, who have been shut out in back-to-back games, and lost three straight contests (0-3-0), including a 5-3 loss at the hands of Mrazek and the Blackhawks.

Mrazek has started three of the last five contests for the Blackhawks and is set to start again on Thursday when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning. Considering the Blackhawks' 4-7-0 record and 24th-ranked team defence (3.45 GA / GP), Mrazek has been tremendous, boasting a 2.81 GAA and .923 SV% through seven appearances (3-3-0). Despite his stellar play, the Blackhawks are sizeable +202 road underdogs against a Lightning team that has scored at least five goals in each of their last three games (2-0-1).

Mrazek's last appearance came in a relief effort vs. Arizona where he stopped 10 of 11 shots (.909 SV%) as he was on damage control but will be the starter Saturday vs. Florida. The 31-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to the season, with his 2-3-0 record, .917 SV% and 2.96 GAA. He should be busy Saturday, as he takes on the Florida Panthers, who despite being fourth in the NHL in shots per game (33.6) is 25th in goals per game (2.67).

Mrazek allowed three goals on 43 shots (.930 SV%) for his third straight loss in his previous start vs. Boston but will be rewarded with the start Friday vs. Vegas. The 31-year-old goaltender has played well despite most of his starts turning into losing efforts as he has a 1-3-0 record, .925 SV% and 3.03 GAA. He draws the near-impossible task of facing the undefeated Vegas Golden Knights, who have started 2023-24 with a 7-0-0 record and are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.86).
Mrazek will be the starter for the Blackhawks on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. Mrazek hasn't finished a season with a save percentage above .894 in two campaigns, but after three games (1-2-0) has a .924 SV% and has played well in each of them. That said, Mrazek and the Blackhawks will have their work cut out for them as they enter their matchup as +203 home underdogs against a Bruins team that has yet to lose (5-0-0).
