“That’s a character win,” said Trevor Daley, who scored the lone regulation goal after missing three games with a lower-body injury. “We had the lead, lost it, and we managed to find a way to win. That builds character. We just have to build off it and get on a roll.”

Mrazek stopped 30 shots in getting the victory and earning himself another start Friday in Carolina.

Mrazek continues to play with confidence and under control, in his best stretch of hockey in two seasons.

“He feels real confident right now and everyone in this room has seen him at his best,” coach Jeff Blashill said. “When he’s confident like that, he’s a real good goalie. It’s just not on the goalie, it’s how you play in front of him. There have been times we haven’t played good enough in front of him.

“I talked to both goalies (including Jimmy Howard) out of the break, and if one gets hot, he’ll play. Both guys are very capable of it. We need elite goaltending and that’s what this league is. If you don’t get elite goaltending it’s hard to win on a regular basis.
