(Dean Rutz | The Seattle Times) Utah Hockey Club defenseman John Marino kills the Seattle attack and takes Seattle Kraken left wing Jaden Schwartz out of the play late in the first period in NHL Hockey Friday, March 14, 2025 at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.

Mrazek started the Wings' first-ever game against the Utah Hockey Club at Delta Center. At 1:36, there was a collision at his net, with Utah forward Dylan Guenther making first contact and Barrett Hayton also catching Mrazek. The contact sent Mrazek's stick flying across the ice.

Entering Monday, the Red Wings were five points behind the Montreal Canadiens for the Eastern Conference’s second Wild-Card spot with 13 games remaining, while Utah trailed the St. Louis Blues by four points for the Western Conference’s final Wild-Card spot with 12 contests to go.
