Mrazek was pulled after he allowed five goals on 15 shots in the Red Wings 5-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday. Mrazek has struggled lately, getting pulled in two of his last four starts and posting a 4.83 GAA and .842 SV% over that stretch. It won’t get any easier with the high-powered Islanders in town.
Mrazek allowed four goals on 41 shots in the Red Wings 5-4 win over the Panthers on Tuesday. He will go again tonight in Tampa Bay having gone 6-1-0 with a 2.73 GAA and .909 SV% in the month of January. The Lightning present a tough challenge for Mrazek, but the way the Wings are rolling, he still makes for an average start tonight.
Mrazek allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Red Wings 5-4 shootout win over the Wild before the All Star break. It was a nice bounce-back performance for Mrazek, who was yanked in his previous outing. Since Jimmy Howard went down, Mrazek has gone 5-1-0 with a 2.53 GAA and .910 SV%.

Granlund has been sidelined since December 27th, but will be back in the lineup tonight in Edmonton. After a great sophomore season, 2014-15 has not gone Granlund’s way. He has just 15 points (4G / 11A) in 32 games so far.
Trouba has missed the last 16 games with an upper-body injury, but will return tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. Trouba has registered 12 points (4G / 8A) with a plus-3 rating in 31 games before getting hurt. He will replace Mark Stuart in tonight’s lineup.
Trouba is taking part in the Jets’ morning skate and he is paired with Jay Harisson, which is a good sign that he will be activated from IR and will play tonight. Expect an update after the game day skate.
Trouba was a full participant in practice on Tuesday and said after the skate that when he returns will be up to coach Paul Maurice. Trouba’s return would be a huge boost to a Jets team who currently sit in playoff spot in the West.
For the first time since suffering an upper-body injury back on December 13th, Trouba took line rushes in practice this morning. This is a positive sign that Trouba could be available for tomorrow’s game vs. the Blue Jackets. However, with the All Star break looming, the Jets could elect to rest Trouba for another week.
The Wild were hopeful that Granlund would be able to play tonight, but he was not medically cleared, so look for him to return after the All Star break in Edmonton.
Mrazek was pulled after allowing three goals on seven shots in the Red Wings 6-4 win over the Sabres on Sunday. Despite the rough outing, the Red Wings will go back to Mrazek tonight vs. Minnesota. Mrazek is 4-1-0 with a 2.29 GAA and .914 SV% in his last five starts.
Granlund returned to practice on Sunday and took part in the morning skate with a no-contact sweater today. Coach Mike Yeo said there is a chance that Granlund will play Tuesday.
Mrazek turned aside 34 of 36 shots in the Red Wings 5-2 victory over Nashville last night. He will start again tonight, having won three straight starts with a 1.63 GAA and .944 SV%. He is filling in admirably for Jimmy Howard and should be a great start tonight with the Sabres rolling into town.
Granlund has been out since December 27th after undergoing wrist surgery, but he will have a doctors appointment later today to determine if he can return to practice on Sunday.
Mrazek allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Red Wings 3-2 OT win over the Blues on Thursday. He has gone 3-1-0 with a 1.75 GAA and .928 SV% in his last three starts with one relief appearance. He will face a Nashville team who have won five in row, but will be without Pekka Rinne.
Trouba, who is supposed to be out until February, skated in a regular jersey at the Jets morning skate. Ditching the no-contact sweater is a good sign that Trouba is nearing a return and that he could be back before February.
Granlund has been out since undergoing wrist surgery on December 29th. His original timetable was four weeks and he is already two and a half weeks into that. Coach Mike Yeo said he is getting much closer and practicing on Sunday could have him on pace to return before the four-week mark.
Mrazek stopped 25 of 26 shots in the Red Wings 3-1 win over the Sabres on Tuesday. The win moved him to 6-3-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .920 SV% on the season. Tonight he will make his third career start (fourth appearance) vs. the Blues—He is 2-0-0 with a 0.80 GAA, .969 SV% and one shutout in their previous encounters.
Mrazek allowed two goals on 12 shots after replacing the injured Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings’ 3-1 loss to Washington on Saturday. The Petr Mrazek era in Detroit begins tonight and he draws a great matchup vs. the Sabres. Also fellow Czech legend, Dominik Hasek’s jersey will be retired tonight, so should be a big night for the 22-year-old Mrazek.
Gudas will likely miss the rest of the season after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his knee on Tuesday. This is a huge opportunity for Nikita Nesterov, who will stay on the roster with Gudas out.
