Mrazek will tend the twine Thursday against the Canadiens, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Mrazek was going to be eased back into action following an illness, but was called upon in relief of the struggling Jimmy Howard on Tuesday. The 23-year-old did not fare any better than Howard, also allowing three pucks to find the back of the net. With Detroit chasing a wild-card spot, the netminder is going to have to perform better. In his last three outings, he has posted a .912 save percentage while allowing eight goals.
