Goalie Start
Mrazek starting in goal tomorrow.
Howard needed the break and Mrazek is a good play vs. the Wild at home as they haven't been finding the net as much as expected prior to the season.

Goalie Start
Mrazek will start tonight for the Red Wings.
This will mark Mrazek's NHL debut. He is 16-7-1 with a 2.26 GAA and .916 SV%, so if he can translate those numbers into the NHL he could prove to be a great backup to Jimmy Howard. However Howard is a workhorse so his backup will likely not see much action. And when Jonas Gustavsson returns from injury Mrazek will likely return to the AHL.

#RedWings have called up G Petr Mrazek and F Tomas Tatar from Grand Rapids.
Mrazek appears to be the Red Wings back-up for the time-being. Hoaward has started every game this year and will likely see some time off shortly. It could be Mrazek who gets the start but regardless he isn't fantasy relevant.
