Granlund is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury.

Granlund left Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return. He registered one goal and one assist before retiring to the dressing room for the evening. Following Saturday’s contest coach Mike Yeo said that Granlund is out indefinitely.

Granlund (illness) will return to the Wild’s lineup on Tuesday.

Granlund missed Saturday’s game with an illness, but he will be back in tonight vs. the Flyers. He will skate in his regular spot on the top-line with Zach Parise and Thomas Vanek. He has not scored a goal in eight games and has just 13 points (3G / 10A) in 30 games this season.

Mrazek will start in goal vs. Buffalo.

Mrazek allowed one goal on 23 shots in the Red Wings 2-1 shootout loss to the Avalanche on Sunday. It was another strong out for the young net minder but Detroit continues to struggle to find ways to score. Despite the slow offensive production in front of him, Mrazek makes for a great spot-start option tonight with the Sabres in town.

Granlund (illness) is on the ice for the Wild's morning skate.

Granlund, who missed Saturday’s game with an illness, is skating this morning, but coach Mike Yeo said he needed to see significant improvement in Granlund’s health if he was going to play tonight vs. the Flyers. Monitor his status after the skate.

Mrazek is likely starting on Tuesday vs. Buffalo.

Mrazek allowed one goal on 23 shots in the Red Wings 2-1 shootout loss to the Avalanche on Sunday. It was another strong out for the young net minder but Detroit continues to struggle to find ways to score. It looks like Jimmy Howard will be held out of tonight’s game, so look for Mrazek to take on the Sabres.

Mrazek starts Sunday vs. the Avalanche.

Mrazek stopped 22 of 23 shots after replacing the injured Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings 2-1 loss to the Islanders on Friday. With Howie sidelined, Mrazek becomes the starter for time-being and it starts tonight vs. the visiting Avalanche. The 22-year-old is 3-2-0 with a 2.55 GAA and .922 SV% and makes for a solid spot-start option for people in need of Sunday goalie numbers.

Gudas (illness) is said he is good to play on Friday.

Gudas has missed the last three games with a stomach virus, but should be back in the lineup tomorrow vs. the Devils. With Gudas coming back in, expect Mark Barberio to take a seat. Gudas has two goals and three assists in 26 games this season.

Radko Gudas
Trouba (upper-body) will be out until February.

Trouba, who missed practice on Monday was listed as “probable” but will now apparently miss at least the next month and a half. The Jets blue line has been decimated, they head into Tuesday’s game without Trouba, Zach Bogosian and Tobias Enstrom, their three biggest minute eaters.

Jacob Trouba
Trouba (undisclosed) is probable for Tuesday’s game vs. Buffalo.

Trouba missed practice on Monday, but is expected to be in the lineup tomorrow. The Jets already have a ton of holes on the blue line because of injuries, so missing Trouba would be a huge loss. He has two goals and six assists in his last nine games.

Mrazek will face the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Mrazek stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Red Wings’ 3-1 win over the Hurricanes last Sunday. He has won all three of his starts with Detroit while posting a 2.59 GAA and .912 SV%. Tonight the Red Wings will call upon him to get a big victory on the road in Toronto. Both Detroit and Toronto are high scoring offences, but seem to ratchet up the D when they play each other.
