Petr Mrazek News

Mrazek will start the second straight game for the Blackhawks on Tuesday in a daunting matchup against the high-flying Edmonton Oilers. Mrazek was terrific on Sunday, saving 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) for an injury-depleted Blackhawks squad in a 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames. That said, much of the Blackhawks roster remains injured heading into Tuesday's matchup, and, as such, they are significant +358 home underdogs against the Oilers, who are riding a seven-game winning streak. The Blackhawks last played the Oilers on December 12, when Mrazek allowed four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%) in a 4-1 loss.

Mrazek did not play in Chicago's 3-0 loss to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday after starting three straight games for the Blackhawks. Mrazek has put together a serviceable season for the bottom-dwelling Blackhawks but has allowed 11 goals on the last 66 shots he has faced (.833 SV%) in the last two games (0-1-1). The Blackhawks are huge +359 underdogs against the New York Rangers, who are coming off a disappointing 6-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
