Flyers Get Goaltender Petr Mrazek From Red Wings

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers have acquired goaltender Petr Mrazek from the Detroit Red Wings for two conditional draft picks.

Flyers general manager Ron Hextall made the move Monday night, a day after losing his second goalie to injury in less than 10 days. Starter Brian Elliott had core muscle surgery last Tuesday and is expected to miss up to 6 weeks. Backup Michal Neuvirth was injured in Sunday's win at the New York Rangers. The team didn't update his status before making the trade.

Mrazek was 8-7-3 with a 2.89 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage this season for Detroit. He's 72-58-20 with a 2.60 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 166 appearances in six seasons for the Red Wings.

The Flyers sent a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2018 and a conditional third-round draft pick in 2019 to Detroit.
