In what would be his final game as a Red Wing, Mrazek stopped 31 of 34 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs on Sunday. After a disappointing start to the season, Mrazek posted a .935 SV% and two shutouts over his last ten starts with Detroit. He’ll make his Flyers debut tonight in a difficult matchup against the Blue Jackets.

Mrazek hasn’t started a game since February 9th against the Islanders, where he gave up an atrocious seven goals on 29 shots. Despite the poor performance Mrazek has played admirably this season, posting a .914 SV%. He draws a difficult matchup tonight in Nashville.

Mrazek allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Red Wings loss in Florida last Saturday. It was a controversial late loss, but it was another strong outing for Mrazek. The 25-year-old has won four of his last six starts while posting a 1.30 GAA, .958 SV% and two shutouts. In his first start vs. the Islanders, Mrazek stopped 34 of 37 shots in a 6-3 win in late-December.

Johnston has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, but will replace Alan Quine tonight in Buffalo. Johnston has one goal and one assist despite averaging 7:36 TOI in his first three games with the Islanders this season.

Kreider has been out with a blood clot since December 27th but he was able to skate before Wednesday’s morning skate. Kreider remains without a timetable for his return, but this is a positive step in his return.

Vatrano recorded one shot in 4:53 TOI before leaving last night’s game in Detroit. Vatrano is listed as doubtful with a lower-body injury, but there was a good chance he came out anyways with Brad Marchand returning from a five-game suspension.

Mrazek allowed one goal on 31 shots in the Red Wings shootout win over the Sharks on Wednesday. Mrazek has been excellent in his last five outings, going 3-1-0 while allowing just five goals on 144 shots (.965 SV%) and two shutouts. He will look to stay hot tonight vs. a Hurricanes team that shutout the Montreal Canadiens last night.

Mrazek stopped 17 of 18 shots after replacing Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings loss to the Blackhawks last Thursday. Mrazek has played extremely well recently, stopping 109 of the last 113 shots (.965 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight he will take on a Sharks team that has lost three straight and will be without Joe Thornton for the third consecutive game.

Johnston has recorded one goal and one assist despite playing just 7:36 TOI/GM in three games since being recalled. With Casey Cizikas (upper-body) back tonight, Johnston will be a healthy scratch and will likely return to Bridgeport (AHL) in the near future.

Trouba suffered the ankle injury late in overtime of the Jets’ shootout loss to the Ducks before the All Star break. Trouba and Josh Morrissey have been the Jets’ go-to shutdown pairing this season so the absence of Trouba will test their blueline. With Trouba out until mid-March, Tucker Poolman is expected to be back in the Jets’ lineup on Tuesday.

Mrazek stopped all 37 shots that he faced in the Red Wings shutout win in New Jersey last night. Mrazek will start for the second straight night and comes in with shutouts in his lat two games—he has stopped the 64 shots he has faced. Mrazek has been up and down this season and doesn’t make for a safe option with a hot Flyers team in town.

Mrazek stopped all 27 shots that he faced in the Red Wings’ 4-0 shutout win over the Blackhawks on January 14th. Despite the shutout, Jimmy Howard started the next two games (both losses). He faced the Devils earlier this season, but didn’t finish the game—he allowed three goals on 24 shots in what ended up being a 4-3 OT loss.
