MRAZEK RECALLED BY DETROIT

Oct 15, 2013

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday recalled goaltender Petr Mrazek from the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Mrazek, 21, prevented 21 of 24 shots in his season debut with the Griffins in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Hamilton Bulldogs last Saturday. During his rookie campaign with the team last year, Mrazek posted a 23-16-2 record, a 0.916 save percentage and a 2.33 GAA. The Ostrava, Czech Republic, native backstopped Grand Rapids to its first-ever Calder Cup championship, producing a 15-9 record, a 2.31 GAA, a 0.916 save percentage and a franchise-record four shutouts during the playoffs. Mrazek also became the second goalie in history to earn a victory in his NHL, AHL and ECHL debuts in one season.

The Red Wings will host the Columbus Blue Jackets at Joe Louis Arena tonight at 8 p.m., when Mrazek will be available to play.

The Griffins (2-0-1-0) will host the Milwaukee Admirals at Van Andel Arena Friday at 7 p.m. for the home opener. Before the puck drops, the team will raise its championship banner to celebrate last year’s Calder Cup victory. On Saturday, Oct. 19 at 8 p.m., the Griffins will face the Rockford IceHogs for the fourth road game of the season.
