Goalie Start
Mrazek will start tonight for the Red Wings.
This will mark Mrazek's NHL debut. He is 16-7-1 with a 2.26 GAA and .916 SV%, so if he can translate those numbers into the NHL he could prove to be a great backup to Jimmy Howard. However Howard is a workhorse so his backup will likely not see much action. And when Jonas Gustavsson returns from injury Mrazek will likely return to the AHL.
Line Change
Granlund will be a healthy scratch tonight for the Wild.
Granlund has struggled to start his NHL career. He is still only 20 years old and is tremendously skilled. He will find his groove eventually but for now he is only valuable in deep keeper leagues until he gets back into the lineup and starts scoring.
#NYR Mashinter has been sent down. He will play for CT vs. Albany tonight. Guessing that means Kreider is good to go.
Mashinter who was just called up, was sent down right away. No official word on whether or not Kreider will play tonight but all signs are pointing to him being in the lineup. Monitor his status before game-time.
Chris Kreider (ankle/bone chips) also sounds doubtful for tomorrow vs. Devils. Says it's not a matter of the pain but the mobility.
Kreider was originally considered day-to-day but has not played since January 23. Kreider could still see top-6 minutes when he returns but when that will be is still uncertain.

#RedWings have called up G Petr Mrazek and F Tomas Tatar from Grand Rapids.
Mrazek appears to be the Red Wings back-up for the time-being. Hoaward has started every game this year and will likely see some time off shortly. It could be Mrazek who gets the start but regardless he isn't fantasy relevant.
After morning practice @ChrisKreider confirmed his ankle is feeling better, but he's not sure he'll be able to play in Tampa tomorrow
Kreider is getting closer to a return but still isn't ready.
Chris Kreider (ankle) skated hard but says he can't say if he's encouraged yet, has to see how it feels tomorrow.
The Rangers need Kreider back to replace Ryan Callahan in the lineup. Kreider won't be in the lineup tonight.
Kreider said he was back on ice for a light skate alone this AM before practice. Will take it day to day
Kreider will likely take the place of Callahan in the Rangers lineup if he misses any time, but he has to be healthy first. Monitor his status going forward.
Chris Kreider (ankle) misses practice.
Kreider who has missed the Rangers last two game, missed practice again today. It's unclear when he will be back.
#NYR say Chris Kreider has bone bruise/bone chip in ankle. He is still with the club but day to day doing off ice work.
Kreider is expected to be day-to-day and should return soon.
Line Change
Last night, he spent much of the second and third periods on the bench, with Taylor Pyatt taking his place on a line with Ryan Callahan and Derek Stepan, something John Tortorella didn't hold back on discussing.
Kreider haas been scratched tonight, and is in danger of being sent to the AHL. Probably not worth holding on to at this point, but Pyatt isn't much of an option either
Breathe easier #NYR fans @ChrisKreider not only on the ice, but out early!
After getting rocked against Philadelphia and having to leave the game, Kreider is on the ice in practice today and isn't expected to miss any time.

Islanders have told Ryan Strome and Griffin Reinhart that they are going back to their CHL clubs.
Obviously both players don't have any fantasy value now, but these are both names you should keep an eye on in the future.
Line Change
Expect Granlund to centre 2nd line with Cullen-Setoguchi
Granlund isn't lining up on the most potent scoring line but he has shown that he can dazzle all by himself so he is worth a late flier.
BC junior forward Chris Kreider has signed his entry-level contract with the New York Rangers
Kreider is one of the best prospects in college hockey and could contribute to the Rangers' lineup during the playoffs.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed forward Alex Killorn to a two-year, two-way contract, Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman announced today.
Killorn will likely begin his pro season in the AHL.
NEWS: The Red Wings have signed goaltender Petr Mrazek to a three-year entry-level contract. He was the club's 141st pick in the 2010 Draft.

UNIONDALE, NY (October 13, 2011) – The New York Islanders announced today that Ryan Strome has been assigned to the Niagara IceDogs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL).
Strome loses all of his immediate fantasy hockey value by returning to the OHL but is certainly a keeper in dynasty leagues.
Line Change
Capuano said Ryan Strome is not scheduled to be in the lineup Saturday night. #Isles
No word on his short-term role with the club. Strome impressed last season in the OHL, scoring 33 goals and 106 points. His excellent season led many to believe he could be this season's Jeff Skinner. Keep an eye on where Strome lands.
