Mrazek nearly perfect in Flyers debut

Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

Petr Mrazek was just one save shy of recording a shutout in his Philadelphia Flyers debut on Thursday night.

The 26-year-old was perfect outside a perfectly placed wrist shot from Artemi Panarin, turning away 19 of the 20 shots he faced as the Flyers got by the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1.

Mrazek was acquired from the Detroit Red Wings on Monday for two conditional draft picks, with netminders Brian Elliott and Michal Neuvirth currently out with injuries.

With the win, the Flyers have now won four straight and have gone 8-0-2 in their last 10.
