Mrazek will start Saturday vs. the Ducks.

Mrazek was pulled after he allowed three goals on 17 shots in the Red Wings’ loss to the Blue Jackets last Friday. Jimmy Howard started the last three games, but Mrazek will start tonight vs. the Ducks. The 24-year-old has gone 4-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and .902 SV% at Joe Louis Arena this season. The Ducks come in having won four of five.

Vatrano (foot) did not travel to Montreal.

Vatrano shed his no-contact sweater and was a full participant in Sunday’s practice, but stayed in Boston while the team left for a brief two-game road-trip. Vatrano has yet to play this season after tearing ligaments in his foot during the preseason. Vatrano is nearing a return, but it won’t come until Thursday at the earliest and even that seems unlikely.
