#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.

Last night, he spent much of the second and third periods on the bench, with Taylor Pyatt taking his place on a line with Ryan Callahan and Derek Stepan, something John Tortorella didn't hold back on discussing.
