Another one of the Chicago Blackhawks' pending unrestricted free agents could be coming off some trade boards.
The club and goaltender Petr Mrazek share mutual interest in a contract extension, reports ESPN's Kevin Weekes.
Chicago inked veteran forward Jason Dickinson to a two-year extension earlier Tuesday.
Mrazek has been solid for the rebuilding Blackhawks this season, posting a .904 save percentage and a 3.13 goals-against average in 29 appearances entering Tuesday's game against the San Jose Sharks. He's also stopped 2.31 goals above expectation, per Evolving-Hockey.
The 31-year-old journeyman is in the last year of his deal, which carries a $3.8-million cap hit. Chicago acquired him in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2022 offseason.
Mrazek owns a lifetime .907 save percentage over the course of his 12-year NHL career between the Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes, Maple Leafs, and Blackhawks.
