Watch: Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek passes to Hurricanes player for a goal

Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek passes to wrong team for a goal in Tuesday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

In hockey, you always want to thank your teammate for a sweet pass. 

On Tuesday night, Carolina HurricanesVictor Rask had to thank Red Wings goalie Petr Mrazek for some help. 

In the second period of a scoreless game, Mrazek skated out of the net for a clearing attempt that did not go in his favor, as Rask stole the puck and easily shot into an empty net. The Hurricanes went on to win 3–1.

Mrazek, in his third NHL season, was 2–2 with a .925 save percentage entering Tuesday’s game. 

These things happen, folks. #CARvsDEThttps://t.co/fD73JX9zyB
