When he is on there are very few that are more entertaining to watch. We were really high on Mrazek, he just could never seem to get the consistency part under control. But he is the kind of guy who can steal any game and if you aren't careful and let him get going in my opinion he can steal a series if he gets in one of his hot phases.
I said it when he was traded last year, but if you had told me in April 2015 that Jimmy Howard was going to outlast Mrazek in Detroit, I would've thought you were mad. And, obviously, Howard still remains on the Red Wings roster. Until Corey Crawford shut the Lightning out to end the 2015 Final, the only goaltender to pitch a shutout of the Lightning had been Mrazek. He did it three times, twice in the playoffs and once late in the regular season. He was a pain in the ass for the Lightning in that playoff year. If memory serves, he also pitched a shutout in Detroit's lone win in the 2016 playoff meeting as well, as well as only allowing one goal in a 1-0 series-ending Game 5 loss. It's not all roses; there were two 4+ goal games in that 2015 playoff series but, for a team that's been strong offensively throughout this time, that's a pretty decent run of success in high-stakes games for Mrazek.
And, well, a quick eyeball of the standings indicates that it's not beyond reason to think Mrazek might get a third chance at the Lightning in the playoffs, either. It's not currently the matchup but Carolina's only two points ahead of Columbus and Montréal in that last playoff spot quagmire.
