Mrazek stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Red Wings win in Anaheim on Sunday. Jimmy Howard got the nod on Monday, but the Wings will go back to Mrazek tonight in Arizona. Mrazek has won four consecutive games while posting a rock solid 1.25 GAA and .960 SV%. Tonight he takes on a Coyotes team that has won four in a row—Mrazek comes in at 9-4-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .939 SV% on the road.
Kreider has missed the last two games with a laceration on his hand, but he will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Bruins. Kreider will replace Oscar Lindberg and skate on the third line. He has 18 points (6G / 12A) in 39 games this season.
Carlson will miss his eighth consecutive game with a lower-body injury, but he is not expected to be out much longer. Look for Carlson to be back in the lineup next week—his first chance will come on Thursday when the Capitals take on the Canucks.
Mrazek stopped 35 of 36 shots in the Red Wings 2-1 win in San Jose on Thursday. Mrazek has won three straight games while posting a 1.34 GAA and .957 SV%. Tonight Mrazek will start his fifth consecutive game—he will face the Ducks, who have won five of their last seven games, but have averaged just 2.14 goals per game over that span.
Carlson was always considered doubtful for today’s matinee but now he has officially been ruled out of his seventh consecutive game. He remains questionable for Sunday’s contest. The Capitals will not have a morning skate, so we won’t know Carlson’s status until head coach Barry Trotz meets with the media.
Carlson has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury and is expected to miss both games this weekend. It sounds like he defiantly will not play on Saturday, but Sunday remains a possibility.
Mrazek stopped all 22 shots in the Red Wings 1-0 shutout win over the Devils on Monday. Mrazek has now won back-to-back games and will make his fourth straight start as the Red Wings continue their road trip in San Jose. The Sharks have lost four of their last six and Mrazek is a strong 7-4-0 with a 2.19 GAA and .933 SV% on the road.

Carlson will miss his sixth straight game with a lower-body injury on Thursday. Carlson’s movement to IR is retroactive, so he will be able to return to the lineup whenever he is healthy. They put him on IR to create a roster spot to officially sign Mike Richards.
Kreider was listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game but he has officially been ruled out. With Kreider out, Jayson Megna has been recalled and is expected to make his Rangers debut tonight. Rangers’ head coach Alain Vigneault is hopeful that Kreider will be back in the lineup on Saturday.
Kreider suffered a laceration on his hand in Saturday's loss in Florida and it looks like it will force him to miss Tuesday's game. Kreider missed Monday's practice, but shouldn't be considered anything more than day-to-day.
Mrazek gave up three goals on 35 shots in the Red Wings 4-3 win over the Sabres on Saturday. Mrazek had a great game and snapped a three-game losing streak for the Red Wings. Jimmy Howard started the first two games vs. the Devils (both losses) but Mrazek goes tonight and he heads to New Jersey with a 6-4-0 record, 2.40 GAA and .929 SV% on the road this season.
Carlson will travel with the team on their road trip, but will not play tomorrow against the Bruins. Carlson skated this morning which is a great sign, so look for him to join the team later in the week and monitor his status prior to Thursday’s contest.

Carlson has missed the last four games, but skated in sweat pants prior to practice on Monday. His absence for practice and his lack of pads suggests that he isn’t close to returning and won’t play on Tuesday vs. the Bruins.
Mrazek allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Penguins on Thursday. Mrazek finished December at 5-4-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .913 SV% and will look to improve as the calendar flips over to 2016. Today he’ll take on the Sabres for the third time this season, he has gone 1-1-0 with a 2.93 GAA and .903 SV% in the first two meetings.
Mrazek stopped all 11 shots that he faced after Jimmy Howard was pulled for the second straight game on Tuesday. Mrazek has gone 5-3-0 with a 2.30 GAA and .917 SV% in December and should see the bulk of the starts going forward with Howard struggling. Tonight he faces the Penguins at home, where he has gone 6-3-3 with a 2.15 GAA and .923 SV% this season.

Carlson was listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game, but will not miss at least a couple of games with a lower-body injury. This is a huge blow to the Capitals blueline, who will get Aaron Ness from Hershey (AHL) to act as their seventh defenseman while Carlson is out.
