PETR MRAZEK NEWS

Bounces back for win Mrazek stopped 36 of 38 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact Mrazek wasn't very good in his first outing of the year, but he did better in this contest, keeping a talented Oilers offense mostly at bay. The 32-year-old has now allowed six goals on 64 shots while going 1-1-0 over two starts. He's likely to face a heavy workload in most games due to the Blackhawks' lackluster blue line. They finish their four-game opening road trip in Calgary on Tuesday.

Facing Oilers Mrazek will start on the road versus the Oilers on Saturday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Mrazek allowed four goals on 24 shots to Utah in his first outing of the season. He was on the bench for Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets, which was a start for Arvid Soderblom. Mrazek will be tested against one of the league's projected top offenses, though the Oilers were shut out in their season opener Wednesday against the Jets.

Rough start to season Mrazek surrendered four goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Utah. Utah also scored one empty-net goal.

Impact Mrazek's preseason struggles carried over to Opening Night, as Utah scored the first three goals of the game and never looked back. The 32-year-old netminder also gave up a goal to Lawson Crouse in the final minute after Utah's empty-netter. Mrazek is set to see a starting role to begin 2024-25, but the Blackhawks' defense doesn't inspire much confidence, which could make it tough for him to replicate his 3.04 GAA and .907 save percentage from last season.

Starting in Utah Mrazek will defend the road net Tuesday on Opening Night versus Utah HC, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Mrazek provided a record of 18-31-4 with a 3.05 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 56 games during the 2023-24 regular season. He only registered four wins in 27 outings on the road last campaign.

Yields six goals in loss Mrazek gave up six goals on 34 shots in Friday's 6-1 preseason loss to the Wild.

Impact The Blackhawks played a sloppy game -- the Wild scored within two minutes of a previous on three occasions, including responding to Chicago's lone tally late in the second period. Mrazek turned heads in 2023-24 with a 3.04 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 56 games for a defensively leaky Blackhawks roster, and by allowing 11 goals on 92 shots in the preseason, there's proof that this lineup has a long way to go before its competitive. That said, Mrazek should be able to keep things close most of the time while seeing a starting role.

Set to start Friday Mrazek will be in goal at home versus the Wild in Friday's preseason game, per ALL CHGO Sports.

Impact Mrazek will make his third and likely final start of the preseason. He has allowed five goals on 58 shots in his first two outings. Mrazek enters the 2024-25 campaign as the Blackhawks' likely No. 1 goalie, and he'll probably have Arvid Soderblom as a backup while Laurent Brossoit (knee) is set to miss at least a week of the regular season.

Expected to start Wednesday Mrazek is slated to start in Wednesday's preseason home game against Detroit, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Mrazek had an 18-31-4 record, 3.04 GAA and .907 save percentage in 56 regular-season contests in 2023-24. The Blackhawks might take a step forward this year, but they're still a rebuilding squad, so Mrazek likely has another challenging campaign ahead of him.

Solid showing in loss Mrazek allowed two goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Mrazek hasn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last seven outings, but he's gone 2-5-0 in that span. The 32-year-old netminder is down to 18-31-4 with a 3.04 GAA and a .907 save percentage through a career-high 56 appearances.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up three goals in loss Mrazek stopped 30 of 33 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Mrazek helped the Blackhawks make this a far more competitive game than anyone would have expected. Still, he wasn't able to protect a pair of one-goal leads, and Seth Jarvis' second goal of the game late in the third period was decisive. Mrazek dipped to 18-30-4 with a 3.06 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 55 appearances this season. The Blackhawks conclude the season on the road with visits to the Golden Knights on Tuesday and the Kings on Thursday.

Starting Sunday Mrazek will protect the home net Sunday against Carolina, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact During his last outing, Mrazek allowed three goals on three shots in just 4:37 of playing time before being pulled in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blues. He has posted a record of 18-29-4 this season with a 3.07 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 54 appearances. The Hurricanes sit eighth in the league this campaign with 3.38 goals per contest.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Gets early hook Wednesday Mrazek failed to stop any of the three shots he faced before being replaced by Arvid Soderblom early in the first period of Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact Soderblom was also beaten on the first shot he saw, and the first two goals against Mrazek came on egregious defensive breakdowns by Chicago, so this was really a total team effort. Mrazek had been playing pretty well coming into Wednesday, and over his last 10 outings he carries a 5-4-0 record with a 2.86 GAA and .911 save percentage.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Mrazek will start Wednesday on the road against St. Louis, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

The 32-year-old has quietly had a solid season as well, recording a .908 save percentage and 1500 saves. He will look to finish off the year on a good note as the Blackhawks have five games left.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Stands on head in Saturday's win Mrazek made 42 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

Impact Dallas out-shot Chicago 44-17 on the afternoon, but Mrazek was stellar and didn't allow his first goal until late in the second period, after his squad had already built a 3-0 lead. The 32-year-old netminder is 5-3-0 over his last nine outings (eight starts) with a 2.54 GAA and .921 save percentage, and Mrazek needs to find two more wins in Chicago's last six games to record his fourth career 20-win campaign.

Falls to Islanders Mrazek allowed two goals on 29 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Mrazek was solid Tuesday, blanking New York through the first two periods. He'd ultimately surrender a Bo Horvat power-play goal early in the third before Simon Holmstrom tallied the game-winner later in the frame, sticking Mrazek with the 2-1 defeat. Despite the loss, the 32-year-old netminder has been sharp recently, going 4-3-0 with a .915 save percentage over his last seven outings. Overall, Mrazek is 17-28-4 with a .907 save percentage and 3.03 GAA this season. Chicago is back in action Saturday at home versus the Stars.
