commentary...

last night's game,against the Arizona Coyotes,was all about the goaltender for the Red Wings... Petr Mrazek is the heir apparent to Jimmy Howard,it appears... he has given up two goals in last three games,including a 3-0 shutout(with two empty net goals,so it is more impressive,as you look at it)... impressive stats for the third string goaltender pressed into the net,when Howard went down with a slight groin tear,earlier in the season... the Red Wings are not locked into a playoff spot(no one is),but they have won nine of their last ten games,with Mrazek,in net,for most the games,in that streak... Howard should be back sometime in the next two weeks,but this blogpost is about Mrazek,and his superior play,in the clutch... to him,i give a grateful hat tip...
