Jiri Pavlenka - Concedes two against Mainz Pavlenka made three saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Mainz.

Despite allowing at least one goal in each of the last four outings, the goalkeeper made up for that with 21 saves over the same stretch. Up next for Pavlenka is Saturday's visit to Freiburg.
