Takes narrow loss Wednesday Blackwood stopped 24 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Impact Blackwood did not start the last two games while recovering from an illness. He was able to get back between the pipes, but he didn't get enough goal support in Wednesday's contest. This was Blackwood's second loss in a row, though he's allowed just three goals on 49 shots over those games. For the season, he's at a 24-17-6 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 48 appearances. Scott Wedgewood will likely start Thursday versus the Senators, but Blackwood should get the nod for Saturday's road trip finale in Montreal.

Battling illness Blackwood is dealing with an illness Friday, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Impact Scott Wedgewood will start Friday in Calgary because Blackwood isn't 100 percent. What remains to be seen is if Blackwood will still dress as the backup netminder. The Avalanche have only two goaltenders on their roster, so they would have to recall a goaltender or use an emergency netminder if Blackwood is ultimately unavailable. The 28-year-old Blackwood has a 24-16-6 record, 2.50 GAA and .914 save percentage in 47 appearances between San Jose and Colorado this season.

Impact Blackwood has won his last four starts, giving up 10 goals on 98 shots in that span. The Wild have scored just 10 goals over their last six games, so even with the Avalanche on the second half of a back-to-back, Blackwood has a favorable matchup.

Wins shinny game over Leafs Blackwood made 17 saves in a 7-4 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Impact Since his arrival in Mile High, Blackwood is 18-7-2 with a 2.22 GAA and .917 save percentage. But on Saturday, a game of shinny broke out and nothing was easy for him or Anthony Stolarz. Blackwood has won four straight games, and with the deadline deals to amp up the team's offense, the netminder may have an easy ride the rest of the way.

Impact Blackwood was lightly tested in the win, his fourth in his last five outings.

The 28-year-old is up to 22-16-5 with a 2.49 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 44 appearances. The Avalanche's next game is Tuesday versus the Penguins, followed by Thursday's game against the Sharks and a Saturday showdown with the Maple Leafs. If Blackwood continues to see a large share of the starts, he'll be a strong play in weekly leagues for the week ahead.
