Follow Michael Whitaker On X The second NHL game in the career of Detroit Red Wings forward Carter Mazur went better than his first one. Mazur, who was called up for the first time this season from the Grand Rapids Griffins, appeared in just over 10 minutes of play during Detroit's 5-3 setback against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday evening. It was far longer than the literal 17 seconds that he played in his NHL debut against the Utah Hockey Club last season, as his season ended after suffering a dislocated elbow.
Mazur has also missed several weeks of action with the Griffins this season, but recently returned and demonstrated his scoring touch is still intact with 11 goals and four assists in the 15 games he's played in. And just as he did on March 6, 2025, he was well represented by a large contingent in the stands at Little Caesars Arena. In fact, following Monday's practice, he estimated that there were at least 150 friends and family on hand thanks to the word-of-mouth spread by his father.
