Mrazek will start Tuesday against the Islanders.

Mrazek will make his fourth start in five games Tuesday vs. New York after taking a seat for the Blackhawks' previous win on Saturday in Philadelphia. The 32-year-old has played rather admirably despite the team in front of him, with his 17-27-4 record, 3.05 GAA and .906 SV%. He will host the New York Islanders Tuesday, who have dropped eight of their last 11 games and are 21st in the NHL in goals per game (2.96).

Petr Mrazek
Dostal will start Tuesday in Calgary.

The Ducks have favoured Dostal between the pipes lately and will turn to him for the third time in the last four games as they attempt to snap their five-game losing skid. Considering the Ducks' recent offensive woes, Dostal has performed reasonably for the Ducks lately, posting a .907 SV% in his last six outings (1-4-1). That said, the Ducks enter action on Tuesday as sizeable +205 road underdogs against the Calgary Flames.
