Carter Mazur’s injury history is still a concern.
There’s little question that Mazur is a talented player. He excels as a two-way forward, possesses a strong shot, and brings a physical edge to nearly every shift. Yet some observers contend that his comparatively slight frame—standing 6’0” and weighing 173 pounds—has contributed to his recurring injury issues.
The 2024-25 season was a rough one for Mazur. After suffering a nasty concussion, he bounced back to score 15 points in 20 AHL games before getting called up to the Red Wings. However, his debut was a painful one, as he dislocated his elbow and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.
