Marek Mazanec (born 18 July 1991) is a Czech professional ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL), while under contract to the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Mazanec was selected by the Predators in the sixth round, 179th overall, of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Mazanec played at the junior level with IHC Písek, before at 14 moving to Plzeň, where he continued his junior career. Beginning in the 2009–10 season, he played at the senior level in the professional Czech Extraliga.[1]

On 3 May 2013, the Nashville Predators of the NHL signed Mazanec to a two-year, entry-level contract.[2] He began the 2013–14 season with the Predators' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals.

On 8 November 2013, Mazanec made his NHL debut with Nashville, playing 51:37 and allowing two goals on 24 shots after replacing starter Carter Hutton in a game against the Winnipeg Jets.[3] After 10 games with the Predators he posted a .932 save percentage and was named NHL Rookie of the month for November.[4]

On 20 July 2017, Mazanec agreed to a one-year extension to remain with the Predators for his last restricted year under contract.[5] However under a month later, the Predators and Mazanec agreed not to fulfil his contract, allowing him to leave North America and agree to a one-year contract with Slovak outfit, Slovan Bratislava of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), on 14 August 2017.[6]

On 6 December 2017, the New York Rangers signed Mazanec and immediately assigned him to their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.[7]
