Mrazek will receive the start in net Saturday against the Hurricanes.

Analysis:

Mrazek did not pass Jimmy Howard to receive the start in the season opener Friday, but he will be between the pipes for the second contest of the season. The 23-year-old netminder made his way to the Red Wings midway through last season, and impressed enough to keep himself with the team. He's now expected to share the role in net with Howard early in the season, and it seems likely the team will go with a hot hand approach in net unless one of the two clearly separates himself.
