Red Wings’ Mrazek Stands Tall in Net
Detroit goaltending will be key to team’s playoff survival.
Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill‘s decision to start goaltender Petr Mrazek Sunday against Tampa Bay paid off. Mrazek earned his third career shutout, stopping all 16 shots he faced in the third game of the Wings’ playoff series against the Lightning. Helene St. James covers the Red Wings for the Detroit Free Press. She tells WDET’s Pat Batcheller Blashill is likely to stick with Mrazek for the rest of the series, which Tampa Bay leads, two games to one. Game four is Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena.
