Petr Mrazek News

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 has not played the last two games for the Blackhawks but appears likely to 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).

Mrazek is off to a great start for the Blackhawks, who have been better than expected defensively to start the season, allowing an average of only 2.25 goals per game in their first four contests (2-2-0). The Blackhawks have opted to split starts between their two netminders to start the season, but in Mrazek's two games (1-1-0), he has a 2.54 GAA and .935 SV%. Mrazek will be in for arguably his most difficult matchup as the Blackhawks are +303 road underdogs against the Colorado Avalanche. Last season, Mrazek was 1-1-0 against the Avalanche with a 3.50 GAA and .897 SV% and, despite his strong start to the season, does not have a favourable matchup Thursday evening.

Mrazek stopped 39 of 41 shots in the Blackhawks' come-from-behind win over the Penguins on opening night. It was a dazzling start to the season for Mrazek, who will face a ton of rubber behind a young Blackhawks team this season. Tonight he'll face a Montreal team that scored five goals in a 6-5 opening night loss in their season opener.

Mrazek was 10-22-3 with a .894 SV% and 3.66 GAA in 39 games played with Chicago in 2022-23 and will start the Blackhawks' season opener Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh. The Penguins finished middle of the pack and in goals for across the entire NHL last season placing 16th with 261 GF while also closing out the campaign fifth in shots per game (34.4).

Mrazek allowed seven goals on 31 shots (.774 SV%) for his eighth loss in nine decisions as he was handed the defeat by the Seattle Kraken in his last start. The 31-year-old has had a season to forget in 2022-23, with his 9-22-3 record, 3.71 GAA and .892 SV%. He will take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have won four of their last six contests and are fifth in the NHL in shots per game (34.3).
