Detroit Red Wings News

Mrazek will make his 10th straight start on Saturday.

Mrazek stopped all 28 shots that he faced in the Red Wings 3-0 shutout in over the Avalanche on Thursday. He has won seven of his previous nine starts while posting a 2.67 GAA and .906 SV%. Detroit’s crease is starting to get crowded, but this could be his last start before heading back to the AHL. He makes for a must-start with an excellent matchup in Arizona.

Talbot gets the nod on Saturday.

Talbot allowed two goals on 20 shots in the Rangers win over the Bruins on Wednesday. With Henrik Lundqvist sidelined for the next three weeks, Talbot becomes the starter by default and will go tonight in Nashville. He comes into play with a 5-4-1 record, 2.14 GAA and .924 SV% on the year.

Mrazek is getting the start on Thursday.

Mrazek made 22 saves on 23 shots in the Red Wings win over the Islanders on Saturday. He has been victorious in seven of his last nine starts while posting a 2.90 GAA and .899 SV%. Jonas Gustavsson is back with the Red Wings and Jimmy Howard is expected to be back next week, so this could be Mrazek’s final start before heading back to the AHL.

Mrazek was pulled after he allowed five goals on 15 shots in the Red Wings 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday. Mrazek has struggled lately, getting pulled in two of his last four starts and posting a 4.83 GAA and .842 SV% over that stretch. It won’t get any easier with the high-powered Islanders in town.

Mrazek will start vs. Tampa Bay.

Mrazek allowed four goals on 41 shots in the Red Wings 5-4 win over the Panthers on Tuesday. He will go again tonight in Tampa Bay having gone 6-1-0 with a 2.73 GAA and .909 SV% in the month of January. The Lightning present a tough challenge for Mrazek, but the way the Wings are rolling, he still makes for an average start tonight.

Mrazek will start vs. the Sabres on Tuesday.

Mrazek allowed two goals on 12 shots after replacing the injured Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings’ 3-1 loss to Washington on Saturday. The Petr Mrazek era in Detroit begins tonight and he draws a great matchup vs. the Sabres. Also fellow Czech legend, Dominik Hasek’s jersey will be retired tonight, so should be a big night for the 22-year-old Mrazek.

Talbot will be between the pipes for the Rangers.

Talbot stopped all 18 shots that he faced in the Rangers 1-0 win over the Hurricanes on December 21st. Talbot has been great this year, but has been limited to seven starts (3-3-1 / 2.02 GAA / 928 SV%) because of Henrik Lundqvist’s strong season. He has been much better at home than on the road—he comes in at 1-3-0 with a 3.06 GAA and .895 SV% away from Madison Square Garden.
