Puck-stopping Petr Mrazek just what Wings need - for playoffs or trade

Petr Mrazek appears to be righting himself just in time to help the Detroit Red Wings, maybe in more ways than one.

His numbers headed into Sunday’s game against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden do not impress, but his last few performances have indicated he has made significant progress in working himself out of a first-half funk.

“I think he has trended in the right direction for a number of games, and even games where he has given up more goals than he wants to and we want him to, I think he's still played real well,” coach Jeff Blashill said after Mrazek made 34 saves in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss at Buffalo.
