Mazur had a hat trick in AHL Grand Rapids' 4-3 win over Texas on Friday.
Mazur posted 15 points in 20 AHL outings last year, which was enough to earn him his NHL debut, though he got injured on his second shift with the Red Wings. That likely sapped him momentum, and the 23-year-old will need to stay healthy and productive for the Griffins early in 2025-26 to earn another call-up. Even if he gets promoted, Mazur is likely to be ticketed for bottom-six minutes, especially if Detroit has other prospects filling more prominent roles.

Mazur had an opportunity to compete for a role with the Red Wings during training camp, but he'll be left off the team's Opening Night roster. He made 20 regular-season appearances in the AHL last year, recording eight goals, seven assists and eight PIM. It wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most of this year with Grand Rapids.

Red Wings' Carter Mazur: Sustains injury in debut
Rotowire
Mazur (upper body) suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's game versus Utah.
Mazur ended up skating just 1:10 in his debut, which came to an abrupt end after he was injured on his second shift. The 22-year-old has earned 15 points in 20 contests with AHL Grand Rapids, but it looked like he'd have a chance to make an impact with the Red Wings during this call-up. The injury may change that, though it's unclear how significant it is at this time.
