Nearing return Mrazek (groin) was deemed "real close" by interim head coach Anders Sorensen but won't play versus the Capitals on Tuesday, per Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.
Impact It's a bit of a vague update on Mrazek but it's still better than nothing for fantasy players. While the Hawks could ease the 32-year-old backstop back into action, once he is up to full speed he should return to being a workhorse for Chicago. Prior to his absence, Mrazek had played in 20 of the team's 27 contests to open the season.

Impact Mrazek made four saves on four shots in 10:46 of ice time before leaving Saturday's game in the first period. Arvid Soderblom received the loss after surrendering three goals on 24 shots in relief. An update on Mrazek's timeline should come ahead of Monday's road matchup versus the Rangers.

Suffers injury Saturday Mrazek won't return to Saturday's tilt against Winnipeg after sustaining an undisclosed injury.
Impact Mrazek stopped the four shots he faced in 10:46 of ice time before Arvid Soderblom took his place between the pipes. The 32-year-old Mrazek has done alright under difficult circumstances with the Blackhawks, entering Saturday's action with a 7-11-1 record, 2.86 GAA and .905 save percentage across 19 appearances. If he is forced to miss additional time due to his injury, then Arvid Soderblom will likely be leaned on heavily.

Gets starting nod Saturday Mrazek will be between the home pipes versus Winnipeg on Saturday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.
Impact Mrazek has lost three straight games, giving up 12 goals on 91 shots. He is 7-11-1 with a 2.86 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 19 outings this season. Mrazek will have a tough matchup against the Jets, who are sixth in NHL scoring with 98 goals in 27 games.

Bounced by Boston Mrazek made 23 saves in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.
Impact The Chicago defense did a lot of standing around and watching in its own end, giving Mrazek little help when Boston began turning up the pressure in the second period. The 32-year-old netminder has still had a bumpy beginning to December, giving up nine goals on 42 shots in two starts, and on the season he's 7-11-1 in 19 outings with a 2.86 GAA and .905 save percentage. As long as he stays healthy though, Mrazek should continue to draw a heavy workload in the Chicago crease.

He's 7-10-1 with a 2.79 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 18 outings overall. Boston has struggled offensively in 2024-25, ranking 30th in goals per game with 2.48. The Bruins are on a roll, though, winning five of their past seven.

Leaky in Sunday's loss Mrazek stopped 30 of 35 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.
Impact This outing ended his 12-game run of not allowing more than three goals. While Mrazek has struggled to generate wins, he's generally been solid between the pipes, doing his part to keep the Blackhawks competitive. He's now 7-10-1 with a 2.79 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 18 starts this season. He's started five games in a row, and with a back-to-back set in progress, it'll likely be Arvid Soderblom's turn in goal Monday in Toronto.

Mrazek hasn't lost in regulation in any of his past three starts, going 2-0-1 with a 1.99 GAA and a .938 save percentage in that span. It's a small sample size, but it's undoubtedly a step in the right direction, considering the numbers he posted in the early weeks of the regular season.
