Apr 11, 2014

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

A native of Ostrava, Czech Republic, Mrazek leads all AHL goaltenders with a 2.07 goals against average, while owning a 0.925 save percentage and a 22-8-1 record through 31 appearances this season. On Thursday, he was named to the 2013-14 AHL Second All-Star Team along with Griffins defenseman Adam Almquist.

Mrazek, 22, has earned three AHL shutouts this season, in addition to his first NHL shutout for the Red Wings via a 14-save performance on Nov. 2 versus the Edmonton Oilers.

The Wings will host the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at 7:30 p.m., when Mrazek will be available to play.
