Red Wings' Steve Yzerman delivers season-ending update on 22-year old forward

Detroit Red Wings forward Carter Mazur had all of the makings of a special night at Little Caesars Arena, making his NHL debut for the club he grew up as a child rooting for and in front of hundreds of family and friends.

Unfortunately, his night ended on just his 2nd shift of the 1st period; he crashed awkwardly into the boards while trying to deliver a body check and immediately left the ice and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Mazur, who had just been re-called from the Grand Rapids Griffins, isn't likely to play again any time soon, according to Griffins commentator Bob Kaser.

Mazur made his debut wearing sweater No. 43 in honour of his favourite Red Wings player Darren Helm; that number is now being worn by goaltender Petr Mrazek.

Mrazek traditionally wears No. 34, though that's currently worn by Alex Lyon; he chose instead to wear the inverse.
