Goalie Start
Mrazek will start Saturday vs. the Devils.
Mrazek gave up two goals on nine shots after replacing Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings’ loss to Edmonton Wednesday. With Howie going last night, Mrazek gets the nod tonight vs. New Jersey. The 25-year-old has barely played this season, going 2-3-1 with a 3.10 GAA and .905 SV% in five starts and two relief appearances.
Line Change
Vatrano is a healthy scratch for Friday's afternoon game vs. Pittsburgh.
Line Change
Goalie Start
Mrazek gets the nod Thursday in Calgary.
Mrazek stopped all 36 shots that he faced in the Red Wings shutout win over the Oilers on Sunday. Mrazek has played well so far this season, stopping 145 of the 157 shots (.924 SV%) that he has faced in four starts and one relief appearance. Tonight he faces a Flames team that is second last in the NHL in scoring, averaging just 2.40 goals per game.
Goalie Start
Gudas (upper body) will not play on Thursday.
Gudas exited Wednesday’s game after being hit by Brandon Saad and will not be in the lineup tonight in St. Louis. With Gudas out, the Flyers will dig deeper into the D-man pool, bringing Will O’Neill in to make his NHL debut. Consider Gudas as questionable for Saturday’s game.
Gudas left Wednesday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.
Gudas left yesterday’s game in the first period after being hit by Blackhawks’ forward Brandon Saad. This is another big blow to the Flyers’ blueline that is already without Shayne Gostisbehere, Andrew MacDonald and Samuel Morin. Consider Gudas as doubtful for Thursday's game in St. Louis.
Granlund (groin) will return to the Wild lineup on Tuesday.
Granlund has been sidelined by a groin injury since the season opener, but will draw back in tonight vs. Vancouver after a five-game absence. Granlund, the Wild’s leading scorer last season, will be back on a line with Mikko Koivu and Jason Zucker.
Goalie Start
Mrazek will start Friday vs. the Capitals.
Mrazek stopped 19 of 21 shots after replacing Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings’ loss in Toronto on Wednesday. After allowing a goal on the first shot that he faced, Mrazek settled in and nearly led a Red Wings’ comeback. So far this season he has stopped 72 of 80 shots (.900 SV%) and he will be in tough tonight vs. the high-powered Capitals.

Granlund (groin) will be a game-time decision on Friday.
Granlund has been bothered by a groin injury since the season opener but he was back on the ice for Thursday’s practice and skated on the top-line and top power-play unit, making him a game-time decision for tomorrow. Monitor his status during the pre-game skate, but it looks like he will return and it’s a huge addition for the Wild who are quite banged up right now.
Granlund (groin) had a “good skate” on Monday.
Granlund has missed the last three games with a groin injury that he was dealing with in training camp. Granlund returned to the ice on the weekend and had a “good skate” this morning, which suggests he might not be far from returning to the lineup. The Wild are off until Friday, so monitor his status as the week progresses.
Goalie Start
Mrazek will start Friday in Vegas.
Mrazek allowed three goals on 32 shots in the Red Wings loss in Dallas on Tuesday. With Jimmy Howard starting last night, Mrazek will get his second start of the week tonight in Vegas. The Golden Knights have surprisingly bust out of the gate this season but Mrazek will look to snap their bid for a 4-0 start.
Goalie Start
Mrazek will make his season debut in Dallas.
Jimmy Howard was in the starter’s crease on Monday, but it looks like Mrazek will start his first game of the season tonight in Dallas. This seems like a weird time to give Mrazek a start considering Howard has been playing great and they have a back-to-back on Thursday/Friday. The 25-year-old is coming off of a tough season, particularly on the road, where he went 9-11-4 with a 3.15 GAA and .901 SV%
Granlund (undisclosed) will miss at least the next four games.
Granlund missed Saturday’s game in Carolina as well as Monday and Tuesday’s practices and after the session head coach Bruce Boudreau said that Granlund will miss at least the next four games, keeping him sidelined until at least October 24th vs. Vancouver. With Granlund out, Marcus Foligno is expected to start with Mikko Koivu and Jason Zucker.

Granlund (undisclosed) "probably" isn't going to play Saturday in Carolina.
Granlund was apparently playing through an injury in the season opener in Detroit, where he was held off of the scoresheet. The Finnish playmaker will likely be held out of the lineup Saturday in Carolina, so look for Gustav Olofsson to draw into the lineup as a seventh defenseman.
The Canadiens select Ryan Poehling with the 25th overall pick.
Poehling is a rangey player, standing in at 6-foot-2, but needs to add bulk to that frame. Poehling posted seven goals and six assists (13 points) in 35 games in his first season with St. Cloud State.
