Mrazek has received the starting nod for Tuesday's game with Buffalo, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Mrazek has continued to split starts in the Detroit net fairly evenly with Jimmy Howard, though Mrazek has outperformed his teammate in his appearances. Mrazek's .932 save percentage is good for fifth in the NHL, and on Tuesday will face shots from the Sabres, who are the 27th-ranked team in the league offensively.
