Ducks' Mrazek Done After Hip Surgery
Anaheim's backup netminder Petr Mrazek undergoes hip surgery and shuts down for the rest of the season, leaving the Ducks scrambling post-Olympic break. The 34-year-old veteran, acquired in that wild Gibson-to-Detroit swap last summer, posted ugly numbers in his 10 starts before landing on IR in January. With Lukas Dostal carrying the load and Ville Husso as the shaky option, GM Pat Verbeek faces real pressure to upgrade before the deadline if Anaheim wants to hold that second wild-card spot.
