The Red Wings are one of several teams in the Eastern Conference hoping to claim one of the coveted Wild Card Sports.
Coach Todd McLellan has already indicated that goaltender Petr Mrazek could have his 4th straight start since returning to the Red Wings via trade at the Trade Deadliune.
He's giving us some confidence. And this is not a swing at the other two goaltenders, but you just feel it on the bench and when a save is made, the energy that's on the bench right now with Petr in the pipes. And when the puck doesn't hit him, even when it goes in, there's not a big sag. We sense that. We feel it. So, we chose to go with him again.
