Red Wings Newest Goalie Petr Mrazek's Unveils Unusual New Helmet Design in Detroit

Petr Mrazek arrived in Detroit, a familiar place, and with the trade comes new gear, and we got a good view of his new helmet.
Not all heroes wear capes, and that hero is
Petr Mrazek who helped the Red Wings lift the team to a 3-0 shutout over the Vegas Golden Knights.
It's only fitting that the helmet should reflect its owner, and while Mrazek has gone with an unconventional design.
It's apparent he's a fan of Seth McFarlane and Family Guy, as Peter Griffin adorns the mask.
He takes primacy over the
Red Wings logo which is featured on the background, taking up the majority of the mask.
While Griffin like Clark Kent, takes off his shirt in order to reveal, that like Mrazek he's a hero.
The logo is Superman of course.
Given that Mrazek stood down the Golden Knights and pulled ahead with a shutout victory, the "S" is earned.
Even though he only had to stop 18 shots on goal by the Golden Knights all night, he held his ground.
He came out on top with a 1.00 save percentage, which gives him a 2-1-0 record, 2.01 GAA, and a .920 save percentage with the Red Wings.
Much better statistics, with a better team run by Head Coach Todd McLellan.
Can Mrazek be the answer in the net he once was for the Red Wings from 2015 to the 2017 seasons, where he posted a .921 save percentage, a career-high until the 2020-2021 season with the Carolina Hurricanes?
Mrazek and Talbot could turn out to be a great duo in the net if the veteran goalies can work in tandem to protect the crease from the next stretch of games with a playoff atmosphere.
