Mrazek starts Thursday vs. the Rangers.

Mrazek allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Philadelphia on Tuesday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Mrazek, who will make his 11th appearance of the season on Thursday. He catches a fantastic matchup with the Rangers coming in on the tail-end of a back-to-back. Additionally, Mrazek is undefeated on home-ice (6-0-0), posting a 1.97 GAA, .925 SV% and one shutout.

Mrazek led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.

The win extended Mrazek's winning streak to three--he has stopped 89 of the 93 shots (.957 SV%) that he's faced over that span. He hasn't been as good on the road, going 1-1-1 with a 3.21 GAA and .893 SV% in three games and Philadelphia is 4-1-1 with 4.17 goals per game at Wells Fargo Center.

Brossoit will start Saturday in Vegas.

Brossoit allowed one goal on eight shots after replacing Connor Hellebuyck in the Jets loss in Anaheim on Tuesday. Brossoit has not played very well this season, posting a .852 SV% in three appearances. To make matters worse, he will be taking on a Vegas team that is very good on home-ice. On a positive note, he will go head-to-head with Malcolm Subban instead of Marc-Andre Fleury.

Laurent Brossoit
Khudobin will start Friday in Colorado.

Khudobin stopped 11 of 12 shots after replacing Ben Bishop in the second period of Tuesday's come-from-behind win over the Wild. Khudobin has won back-to-back games while stopping 30 of the 32 shots (.938 SV%) in his last two outings and will make his fifth start of the year on Friday. He is 0-2-0 with a 3.56 GAA and .892 SV% in his first two road starts.

Maroon is day-to-day with an upper-body injury; questionable to play Wednesday in New Jersey.

Maroon suffered an upper-body injury in a fight with Michael Haley early in the first period of Tuesday's game. It seems unlikely that Maroon will be available for Wednesday's game in New Jersey, so expect someone to be called up from Syracuse (AHL) to replace him if Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) can't play again.

Pat Maroon
Mrazek led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.

Mrazek stopped all 32 shots that he faced in the Hurricanes shutout win over the Blackhawks on Saturday. The win snapped a two-game losing skid and the shutout was his second in four starts. Overall, Mrazek has gone 5-1-1 with a 2.43 GAA and .909 SV% in seven starts, including a 4-0-0 start on home-ice, so don't hesitate to start him on Tuesday night.

Mrazek led the Hurricanes onto the ice for warmups.

Mrazek was pulled after he allowed four goals on 13 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Anaheim last Friday. It was a brutal outing for the Canes’ netminder but he comes back well-rested tonight in Columbus. He has won four of his first five starts while posting a 2.64 GAA and .893 SV% and tonight he faces a Columbus team that ranks 25th in the NHL in scoring (2.44 GF/gm).

The Blackhawks have placed Connor Murphy (groin) on LTIR.

Murphy suffered a groin injury in Tuesday's shootout loss to the Golden Knights and his move to LTIR provides the Blackhawks with some cap relief but also means he'll miss at least 11 games. Dennis Gilbert was recalled from Rockford (AHL) and either he or Slater Koekkoek will replace Murphy. This also helps explain the trade for Ian McCoshen on Tuesday as the team looked to address organizational depth on the back-end.
