Mrazek will start again on Sunday.

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.

Mrazek will make his third straight start.

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 (upper-body) took part in the Jets morning skate; won’t play tonight though.

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 (wrist) is expected to skate with teammates on Saturday and practice on Sunday.

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 will be between the pipes vs. St. Louis.

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 will start vs. the Sabres on Tuesday.

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.

Mrazek will start Wednesday in Calgary.

Mrazek allowed three goals on 16 shots in the Red Wings win over the Sabres on December 23rd. He served as Jimmy Howard’s backup for the last five games, but returns to the crease tonight in the second half of a back-to-back. He faces a Flames team who have won four of five—Mrazek is 3-1-0 with a 2.70 GAA and .916 SV% on the road.
