Red Wings' Petr Mrazek: Finishes preseason on high note

Mrazek turned away 29 of 32 shots Saturday, helping Detroit to a 4-3 exhibition-closing win over Toronto.

Analysis:

Mrazek played fairly well despite the crooked number of goals that went past him in the final tune-up. He was able to deny all five shots from Auston Matthews, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, including a laser from close range. The Czech goalie carries significant fantasy upside this season, due in large part to the fact that he'll start the season as the undisputed No. 1 goalie for the first time in his career. Veteran Jimmy Howard will be second in line for starts.
