Petr Mrazek picks up a victory during a personal milestone game.

Mrazek played in his 400th game in net, and he faced a barrage of shots as the Kings fired 40 of them at him.

He had trouble stopping Alex Laferriere, who scored the Kings' first two goals. Otherwise, he did well in the net, considering the Kings' xGF kept rising through each period.

He did manage to stop Laferriere in the shootout to set up Donato's opportunity to be the hero.

Mrazek might be the team's early-season MVP if Donato was not enough to such a hot start. His numbers might not be amazing as he is just a .3 goals saved above expected. He is 33rd in the league in goals allowed and 27th in save percentage.

What he has been good at is making just enough saves to give the Hawks an opportunity to be in the game. That was his calling card last season and it has carried over into this year.

Mrazek might have a few more wins on his ledger if the Blackhawks did consistently play strong for a full game.

His workload has increased as he has been in the net for all but two of the Hawks games this season. He will get the night off against Anaheim for some well-deserved rest.
