Petr Mrazek Likely Starting Wednesday Versus Wild
9 months agoChicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek is the likely starter for Wednesday night's contest against the visiting Minnesota Wild. The veteran worked in the starter's crease in Wednesday's morning skate, indicating he will indeed get the starting nod. Recently rewarded with a two-year contract extension, Mrazke has enjoyed a bounce-back season that has seen him post a 2.92 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage across 34 games on a 32-ranked Blackhawks team. For context, his 6.41 goals saved above average ranks 15th of 69 qualified netminders. The injury-plagued Blackhawks are just 14-34-2 on the season and are currently in line to boast the first overall draft pick for the second straight season.
