GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday signed goaltender Petr Mrazek to a one-year contract extension for the 2015-16 season.

Mrazek, 22, ranked second among AHL goaltenders with a 2.10 goals against average during the 2013-14 regular season, while owning a 22-9-1 record through 32 games. The 6-foot-1, 187-pound netminder also earned three shutouts, a 4-1 shootout record and a 0.924 save percentage, garnering him a spot on the AHL’s Second All-Star Team.
