Mrazek’s first year as an NHL No.1 was a tail of two halves. In the first four and a half months, he was one of the best goalies in the league, going 21-10-4 with a 1.94 GAA and .934 SV%—both first in the NHL at the time. However, his final 17 games resulted in a 6-6-2 record, 3.32 GAA and .887 SV%. The young netminder bounced back in the postseason and should be more prepared for a full-season worth of starts, making him a borderline No.1 fantasy option. That said, he draws a tough matchup in his first game of the year.
The Red Wings and Mrazek were reportedly pretty far apart during their contract negotiations, but were able to come to terms on a two-year bridge deal.

He will have the same role in 2016-17, where he will likely start near 50 games again and should be a low-end No.1, high-end No. 2 fantasy option.
After sitting for games one and two, Mrazek started game three and stopped all 16 shots that he faced in the Red Wings’ 2-0 shutout win. It was Mrazek’s third career playoff shutout in just eight playoff starts. All eight of them have come against the Lightning—he has gone 4-4 with a 1.83 GAA and .931 SV% and those three blank sheets.
