Petr Mrazek looks to be getting rewarded for his great play of late.

Detroit Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock announced that Mrazek will be between the pipes for the second game in a row when the Wings take on the New York Islanders Sunday. 

The 23-year-old is coming off his fourth career shutout in a 4-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Meanwhile, Jimmy Howard will sit for the second straight game. 

Howard was pulled during Thursday's game against the San Jose Sharks after giving up three goals on 10 shots.
