Interesting... Wonder why. Mrazek pulling double duty maybe?

So far 25/26 for Mrazek in the AHL game.

[Harbingers]

Nice game all around for Mrazek. Allowed 2 goals on 45 shots and the first goal was a back door wide open empty netter that he was just too slow on. The second had a little more finesse. Really solid performance  though overall.

A .956 save percentage in his first game back? I'll take it.

Ya third line needs some life. Hopefully nino will bring it. So nice having tro back so we can mix up the lines properly.

Joking, mostly. 

Ned gave up a couple easy ones the other night. Hopefully, Optimus's more patient style will pay off against a young group tonight.

Against 45 shots on goal no less. Chicago wolves are good but they aren’t much for defense I’ll say that.

As a side note, I think I broke a few ribs just looking at the 4th line.
