Petr Mrazek is back in Detroit, recalled from Grand Rapids again as an injury replacement.

Mrazek will be in uniform tonight against visiting Edmonton after Jonas Gustavsson was injured in Sunday's 5-3 loss at Boston. He did not return for the third period.

In 20 appearances with the Wings earlier in the season, Mrazek compiled a 13-5-1 record with a 2.55 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage, with one shutout. In 31 career NHL games, Mrazek is 16-10-1 with a 2.29 GAA and a .914 save percentage and three shutouts.

Since he was assigned to the red-hot Griffins on Feb. 17, Mrazek has not suffered a regulation loss, going 6-0-1 with a 1.13 goals-against average and a .962 save percentage. He has three shutouts in his last five starts.
