When the Detroit Red Wings promoted goaltending coach Jeff Salajko, it was with an eye towards Petr Mrazek.
Salajko had history with Mrazek from the minors, and was signed to a one-year deal with the Wings last May. While Salajko does not yet have a new contract, that should soon change.
“Jeff Salajko will be back,” head coach Jeff Blashill told the Free Press Friday. “I think he has done a real good job. He has a very good relationship with our goaltenders and has an ability to help them get better and get better at fundamentals.
