The only Canadiensrookie goaltender to record more than 38 saves in a shutout was Tony Esposito (41 saves) on Dec. 21, 1968.  

Petr Mrazek turned aside all 36 shots he faced to record his first shutout of the season (11th career) and help the Red Wings improve to 3-1-0 in their past four contests.
