The Carolina Hurricanes' goaltending situation is beginning to stabilize.
Petr Mrazek is expected to return Tuesday night against the Detroit Red Wings after missing the last six contests with a concussion.
Mrazek and fellow Carolina netminder James Reimer were both injured against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Feb. 22, forcing emergency backup goalie David Ayres into the crease before the Hurricanes prevailed.
Carolina has won only two of six contests since then while using the goalie tandem of Anton Forsberg and Alex Nedeljkovic.
Mrazek received the bulk of the starts this season before his injury, going 20-16-2 with a .904 save percentage in 39 games.
