Mrazek stopped all 23 shots that he faced in the Red Wings 4-0 win over the Lightning yesterday. It was a big win for the Red Wings, who had been struggling mightily heading into Saturday. Mrazek’s shutout earned him the back-to-back start this afternoon vs. the Islanders. New York comes in having lost seven of their last eight games.
Stalock gave up two goals on 12 shots after replacing Antti Niemi in the Sharks loss in Winnipeg on March 17th. Stalock has gone 2-4-1 with a 3.26 GAA and .892 SV% in seven starts and two relief appearances on the road this season. He will face a Flyers team who are 21-9-6 at home.
Mrazek allowed two goals on 19 shots after replacing Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings 6-4 loss to San Jose on Thursday. Since being recalled, Mrazek has gone 1-2-0 with a 2.29 GAA and .936 SV%. Today he faces a Lightning team who the Red Wings are 0-2-1 against while being outscored 11-5 this season.
Mrazek stopped 42 of 43 shots in the Red Wings 5-1 win over the Penguins on Sunday. The 42 saves is a bit misleading as the Red Wings were in control of this game from start-to-finish. He has been very strong this season going 14-5-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .914 SV% and should make for a nice start tonight vs. a Panthers team he is already 1-0 against this season.
After being sent down in late February, Mrazek went 6-0-1 with a 1.13 GAA, .962 SV% and three shutouts. He is having a remarkable season, having gone 13-5-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% with the Red Wings this season. His last NHL start came against the Penguins (who he faces today) and he was pulled after allowing four goals on 17 shots.
It seems like the Islanders will be giving one forward the night off each game. Last night it was Frans Nielsen, tonight it will be Strome.
Jonas Gustavsson was injured in Sunday’s loss to the Bruins and will not be available for Monday’s game, so Mrazek will be recalled. Mrazek has been great since going to Grand Rapids and now sits 9-2-1 with a 2.06 GAA, .927 SV% and three shutouts in 13 games with GR.
Stalock allowed five goals on 37 shots in the Sharks loss in Nashville on February 17th. He is 5-7-1 with a 2.85 GAA and .889 SV% on the season. Tonight he draws a tough matchup vs. the Canadiens at home, where the Sharks went 0-7-1 in February.
Gudas, 24, is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery in early January. He has one more year on his deal with a 992K cap-hit. Gudas is extremely physical and possesses a heavy slap-shot from the point. He was second on the Lightning in hits (115) and fifth in blocked shots (63) despite playing on 31 games.
Stalock surrendered three goals on 23 shots in the Sharks loss in Calgary on February 4th. Stalock has gone 5-6-1 with a 2.68 GAA and .903 SV% on the season. He draws a rough matchup tonight in Nashville, where the Predators are 24-3-1 on the season.

Mrazek, 23, filled in admirably while Jonas Gustavsson was out and then played even better when he became the team’s starter when Jimmy Howard went down. Overall he was 13-5-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% in 20 games with the Red Wings. He will be back if another injury happens in the crease and he will definitely have a permanent spot on the team in 2015-16.
Silfverberg missed Tuesday’s game with the flu, but he is expected to be back in the lineup tonight in Carolina. With Silfverberg back, expect Rene Bourque to come out. Silfverberg hast two goals and three assists in his last six games.
Silfverberg missed Tuesday’s morning skate and game, so it was good news that he was back on the ice on Wednesday morning. Monitor Silfverberg’s status on Thursday morning.
Silfverberg missed the morning skate because of an illness and will be held out of tonight’s game vs. the Panthers. Rene Bourque will be in the lineup with Silfverberg out.
Silfverberg did not take part in the Ducks morning skate because of an illness. He will likely become a game-time decision for tonight’s game vs. the Panthers. Silfverberg has two goals and three assists in his last six games.
Mrazek stopped 22 of 23 shots in the Red Wings 3-1 win over the Coyotes on Saturday. He has won three in a row while posting a 0.67 GAA, .973 GAA and one shutout. He has been red-hot which is why Mike Babcock will go with Mrazek over a healthy Jimmy Howard tonight vs. the Penguins.
Mrazek stopped all 28 shots that he faced in the Red Wings 3-0 shutout in over the Avalanche on Thursday. He has won seven of his previous nine starts while posting a 2.67 GAA and .906 SV%. Detroit’s crease is starting to get crowded, but this could be his last start before heading back to the AHL. He makes for a must-start with an excellent matchup in Arizona.
Stalock allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Sharks loss to New Jersey on January 19th. He has gone 5-5-1 with a 2.65 GAA and .905 SV% in 11 starts and two relief appearances this season. He will start against a Flames team who have won three of four since the All Star break.
