Dual goaltenders for Red Wings? Osgood sees the upside

Having been through a similar situation himself, Chris Osgood sees an upside to the Red Wings’ goaltending situation.

The Wings have two guys — Petr Mrazek and Jimmy Howard — vying to be No. 1, a role each has held at times the past two seasons. Mrazek, 24, dominated last winter only to come crashing down in mid-February, eventually losing ground to Howard, who’d had his own struggles earlier in 2015-16. Mrazek was back in net in the playoffs.

Now, with the 2016-17 training camp less than two weeks away, the pair again will compete for minutes.
