Mrazek said that he will be between the pipes Saturday against the Islanders, MLive.com's Ansar Khan reports.

Analysis:

Mrazek has been awful in his last four outings, with the low point perhaps coming Thursday in Tampa, during which he allowed five goals on 15 shots before being pulled for the final period. The Czech netminder's ongoing struggles could prompt coach Mike Babcock to turn to backup Tom McCollum for a start in the near future, but it looks like it will have to wait another game. Mrazek is in desperate need of a strong outing Saturday, but fantasy owners probably shouldn't stake their mortgage on him coming through.
