Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The oft-injured netminder sustained a groin injury in Saturday's matchup against Winnipeg. Mrazek has worked as Chicago's No. 1 between the pipes this season, putting together a 7-11-1 record. He's registered a 2.83 goals-against average with a .906 save percentage. The Blackhawks remain without Laurent Brossoit (knee), meaning Arvid Soderblom, who's gone 1-6-1 so far, will be in line for a lot of extra work. Drew Commesso has been called up from the minors to serve as Soderblom's backup.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek had a strong outing against the Minnesota Wild on Sunday, kicking away 31 of 32 shots in a 2-1 overtime win. The Czech netminder came very close to his first shutout of the campaign, as Matt Boldy scored for Minnesota with only 4:31 left in regulation. The red-hot Wild were limited to fewer than three goals for only the fourth time this season. Mrazek has picked up some form lately but has been flipping between wins and losses for six starts. He has taken his record to 5-7-0 and boasts a 2.85 goals-against average with a .905 save percentage. These are good numbers from Mrazek, but he's carrying a losing record because the team offense struggles. There are only five teams in the league averaging fewer goals than Chicago.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek will be between the pipes when he hits the road to take on the St. Louis Blues. It's his sixth start over the last eight games as he will take over from youngster Arvid Soderblom who dropped a 4-0 decision in the team's last game against the Minnesota Wild. It's been a respectable season for Mrazek considering the weak team he plays behind as he sports a 3.01 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage across 53 outings (50 starts), going 18-28-4 in that time. His 7.13 goals saved above average rank 21st of 71 qualified netminders, according to Hockey Reference. The club has a decent shot at landing the No. 1 overall pick for the second straight year as they sit second-last in the NHL with 51 points with five games to go.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek will face the Detroit Red Wings in his 39th start of the season on Sunday. The veteran netminder will look to improve a 13-22-3 record, entering the matchup with a 2.99 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. It's been a challenging campaign for Mrazek, and recent times have been especially rough for him, as the former Red Wing has lost eight of his last nine starts. With the Red Wings on a hot streak of four consecutive wins, things likely won't end well for Mrazek on Sunday, either.
Chicago 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.
Petr Mrazek Inks Two-Year Extension With Blackhawks
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek has signed a two-year, $8.5 million extension with the club that carries an average annual value of $4.25 million. The veteran has been solid for a poor Blackhawks team this season, turning in a .907 save percentage across 32 games (30 outings), matching his career .907 Sv% across 366 regular-season games. Additionally, Mrazek's 3.62 goals saved above average ranks 23rd of 67 qualified goaltenders, as per Hockey Reference. It's a nice bounce-back season for the 31-year-old who posted a 3.66 goals-against average and .894 Sv% in his first season with the Blackhawks last season. He will continue to mentor young netminder Arvid Soderblom for the next couple of seasons.
Petr Mrazek Excellent In Season-Opening Win Tuesday
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek put forth a stellar effort on Tuesday night as his team earned an upset victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The veteran netminder turned aside 38 of 40 shots on the evening while his club rallied from a 2-0 deficit to take down the Penguins by a 4-2 final. Despite the impressive season debut, fantasy managers will want to pump the brakes on adding Mrazek, even in the deepest of leagues. While the 31-year-old will see the lion's share of starts over Arvid Soderblom this season, he also posted a 3.66 goals-against average and .894 save percentage with the Blackhawks last season, his second consecutive poor season between the pipes. While the Blackhawks were impressive on opening night, Mrazek is unlikely to rack up many wins behind a young Blackhawks club.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek will guard the crease on opening night against Pittsburgh on Tuesday. The 31-year-old kicks off his second campaign in Chicago after going 10-22-3 with the Blackhawks in 2022-23. Mrazek has been a solid goaltender throughout his NHL career, but he's landed on a rebuilding team, and it's a very tough task for him to please fantasy managers. He ended up finishing last season with a 3.66 goals-against average and a .894 save percentage. Facing off against Sidney Crosby's crew definitely isn't a walk in the park either for Mrazek, who has a 4-5-1 career record against the Penguins.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek faced 30 shots and allowed three goals, resulting in his sixth-straight loss in his last outing. The 31-year-old has had a challenging season, struggling to maintain his form with a record of 8-20-3, a 3.61 goals-against average, and a .896 save percentage. Tuesday, he meets the St. Louis Blues, who have won three of their last four games, including a thrilling 6-5 overtime victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek saw his bad luck with groin injuries continue on Tuesday against Boston, as he was forced to exit the game in the second period. The Czech netminder had a great time against the league leaders, saving all 16 shots he faced, but his night turned sour with the injury. Luckily, Chicago head coach Luke Richardson suggested after the game that the injury is not as severe as Mrazek's prior groin issues. However, he added that Mrazek likely won't join the team for the start of its five-game road trip that kicks off in Nashville Thursday. Mrazek has struggled with injuries and form all season long, going 8-19-3 with a 3.63 goals-against average and a .895 save percentage. Alex Stalock, who came in as relief Tuesday and helped the team to a very impressive 6-3 victory, has done much better and should now get more opportunities to play.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek stopped 39-of-43 shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Panthers. Mrazek did not allow a goal heading into the third period, but the Panthers scored three times in a row to take a lead after trailing for the majority of the game. Mrazek has failed to pick up a win in four consecutive games and has been outplayed by Blackhawks goaltender Alex Stalock. With the team currently sitting near the bottom of the standings and struggling to win games, Mrazek is not a recommended option for fantasy leagues.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek will be in the crease for Friday's battle with the Panthers. The 31-year-old will be hoping to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat. It's been a bad season all around for Mrazek, who has struggled with injury and whose record stands at only 8-18-2. He has no shutouts and has posted a 3.74 goals-against average with a .891 save percentage. Florida is a very dangerous offensive team that has averaged 3.37 goals per game, so this could get very ugly for Mrazek. It's currently unclear who will back up Mrazek on Friday, with Alex Stalock battling a stomach bug.
Petr Mrazek Looks To Continue Hot Stretch On Sunday
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek will take the crease for Sunday's matchup against the Kings, looking to post a fourth victory in five starts. The Czech netminder had just two wins through 14 starts this season before suddenly heating up. The Blackhawks have been one of the whipping boys of the season, but the team is taking a 6-1-0 hot streak into Sunday's contest and can deliver Los Angeles its fourth consecutive defeat.

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) is hoping to return to action Tuesday against Washington. The Czech netminder suffered a groin injury last Saturday against the Rangers and has missed three games. With the team struggling, Mrazek has had a really tough time this season, going only 2-5-1 with a horrible 4.05 goals-against average and a .884 save percentage. Additionally, his health tends to be iffy and it's not the first time this season Mrazek has been forced to sit with a groin problem. Fantasy managers should steer clear of Mrazek unless times are really desperate.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek made an early exit Saturday against the Rangers with another groin injury. He has already missed significant time this season with a groin problem, although Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson noted after the game that the two injuries aren't related. Mrazek was able to help his team for two periods. He saved 21 of 22 shots before Arvid Soderblom took over and posted five saves from six shots in an eventual 5-2 victory. The severity of Mrazek's injury has yet to be determined, but It looks like the Blackhawks will have to rely on the Swedish netminder again for some time. Soderblom began the campaign well, but he has suffered losses in all of his last four starts, which have dropped his record to 2-5-2.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) has been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of Thursday's trip to L.A. He last played on Oct. 21, hurting himself in a matchup against his former team, the Red Wings. Mrazek makes a timely return, with the team having recently lost Alex Stalock (concussion protocol) and Arvid Soderblom (undisclosed). Stalock was added to Injured Reserve Monday. Chicago has one of the leakiest defenses in the league, so it takes a brave manager to trust any of the team's goalies. Before getting injured, Mrazek opened the campaign with a 1-1-0 record, giving up 3.76 goals per game with a .873 save percentage.
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) wasn't in Saturday's practice after getting hurt in Friday's 4-3 win against Detroit. He exited the game with a groin problem after two periods of play. The Czech netminder didn't have a very good night against his former team, allowing three goals on 18 shots. Alex Stalock had a flawless performance as his replacement with 10 saves and walked away with the win after Max Domi sealed the deal 2:15 into overtime. Stalock now looks set for his second start of the campaign on Sunday against Seattle. The 35-year-old has shown off good form so far this season, saving 46 of 47 shots faced.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) has been ruled out for at least six weeks. The Czech netminder has suffered a number of groin injuries throughout the season and sadly picked up another one in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Boston. The six-week layoff means that Mrazek is done for the regular season and will also miss the start of the playoffs. He posted a 12-6-0 record with a 3.34 goals-against average and a .888 save percentage. Erik Kallgren, who is 3-2-1 for the year, will get another start on Thursday against Winnipeg.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek suffered a groin injury in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Boston. He ended up soaking in just 7:44 of action and allowed one goal with four shots before getting hurt. Erik Kallgren took over and helped the side to victory with 23 saves. Kallgren has been surprisingly good in his first few career appearances, but Mrazek's injury is still bad news for Toronto as Jack Campbell (rib) remains sidelined. The Czech netminder was just heating up as well with consecutive wins. He has a 12-6-0 record for the year with a 3.34 goals-against average and a .888 save percentage. Toronto also lost defensemen Ilya Lyubushkin and Justin Holl to injury on Tuesday, but their exits were for precautionary reasons.
Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek will get a huge test on Sunday against the Florida Panthers, who lead the NHL with a 4.05 goals-for average. This will be his second start since Toronto waived him last Sunday. Mrazek regained some form in his return to the crease, beating New Jersey 3-2 with a 20-save effort on Wednesday. He's now on an 11-8-0 record for the season with a 3.39 goals-against average and a .885 save percentage. Mrazek is having a rough campaign in Toronto and it will take a brave man to trust him against the league's hottest offense.
