Not facing shots yet Blackwood (groin) was on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate but hasn't started facing shots yet. The netminder won't play against the Flyers but could return during the team's fiv...

Impact Blackwood has been out of action since Feb. 27 versus the Devils when he was forced out of the game after making just 13 saves. Once given the all-clear, the netminder should get the chance to reclaim the starting role alongside Magnus Chrona, with the duo likely splitting the workload the rest of the way.

Unavailable for Saturday Blackwood (groin) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Ottawa, per Sheng Peng of SanJoseHockeyNow.com.

Impact Blackwood has a 9-18-3 record, 3.48 GAA and .899 save percentage in 35 appearances in 2023-24. His next opportunity to return is Tuesday's road game against Philadelphia.

Could be back soon Blackwood (groin) expects to be ready to return "within a week or so," Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Blackwood is working his way back from a minor groin tweak he sustained during last Tuesday's loss to New Jersey. The 27-year-old netminder has gone 9-18-3 while posting a 3.48 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 35 appearances this season.

Injury not major Although Blackwood (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Wednesday, he might not be out for much more than the required week, coach David Quinn told Sheng Peng of San Jose Hocke...

Impact Blackwood has a 9-18-3 record, 3.48 GAA and .899 save percentage in 35 contests this season. While he's unavailable, Kaapo Kahkonen is expected to be leaned on by San Jose. The Sharks summoned Magnus Chrona on Wednesday to serve as the No. 2 option.

On injured reserve Blackwood (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Blackwood left Tuesday's 7-2 loss to New Jersey because of the injury, so this move can be retroactive to that date, and he's eligible to be activated ahead of next Thursday's outing versus the Islanders. The 27-year-old goaltender has a 9-18-3 record, 3.48 GAA and .899 save percentage in 35 contests this year. While Blackwood's unavailable, Kaapo Kahkonen will likely receive the bulk of the playing time while Magnus Chrona, who was recalled from AHL San Jose on Wednesday, will serve primarily as the backup netminder.

Exits early Tuesday Blackwood (undisclosed) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Devils after sustaining an injury in the first period.

Impact Blackwood suddenly left the game late in the first period after making a save. He stopped all 13 shots he faced before the injury but won't get the decision after leaving with the game scoreless. An update on Blackwood's status should be available prior to Thursday's game versus the Ducks.

Tending twine at home Blackwood will guard the cage at home versus the Devils on Tuesday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Blackwood has struggled to put together wins this season with just nine victories in 34 outings while posting a career-worst 3.51 GAA. With little to play for left this season, the Sharks will likely continue to utilize both Blackwood and Kaapo Kahkonen, perhaps with an eye to trading Kahkonen before the March 8 deadline.

On wrong end of shutout Blackwood allowed four goals on 26 shots in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Blackwood's four-game winning streak came to a crashing halt when his Sharks teammates couldn't solve Vegas goalie Logan Thompson. The Golden Knights tallied three times in the first period as Blackwood struggled early before settling into a groove over the rest of the game. The 27-year-old netminder is now at 9-18-3 with a 3.51 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 34 appearances. He can be a decent DFS play in a favorable matchup, but he has had few stretches of success this season. The Sharks' next game is Saturday versus the Predators.

Patrolling crease Monday Blackwood will tend the twine for Monday's home clash with Vegas, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Blackwood is undefeated in regulation over his last five outings, posting a 4-0-1 record to go with a 1.76 GAA, .942 save percentage and one shutout. Despite the solid numbers, the Thunder Bay native continues to split the workload with Kaapo Kahkonen. As such, neither goalie will likely provide more than mid-range fantasy value.

Earns first shutout of season Blackwood posted a 32-save shutout in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact Blackwood has won his last three outings, and Tuesday's effort was arguably his best of the campaign. The Kraken controlled the pace for the first two periods, but the third tilted just in the Sharks' favor. Blackwood improved to 8-17-3 on the year with a 3.51 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 32 contests. This was his first shutout since the 2021-22 campaign. The 27-year-old will likely be on the bench Wednesday, allowing Kaapo Kahkonen to start versus the Ducks.

Backstops comeback win Blackwood stopped 29 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.

Impact Blackwood gave up a goal in each of the first two periods before shutting the door long enough for the Sharks to rally for a comeback win. The 27-year-old has won three of his last five outings, allowing 14 goals in that span. He's unlikely to keep winning frequently, but playing behind the Sharks' defense sans Mario Ferraro (undisclosed) likely means a lot of pucks will be heading Blackwood's direction. For the season, Blackwood is 7-17-3 with a 3.63 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 31 appearances.

Between pipes Tuesday Blackwood will tend the twine at home against the Rangers on Tuesday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Blackwood has struggled to pick up wins this season with just six victories in 30 games while posting a career-worst 3.70 GAA. The 27-year-old netminder should be able to match his 10-win total from last season but almost certainly won't be making it to the 20 mark, a number he's reached just once in his career.

In goal Tuesday Blackwood will get the starting nod on the road versus Chicago on Tuesday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

In those outings, the 27-year-old backstop went 1-3-0 with a 3.48 GAA and .902 save percentage, including giving up five goals to Ottawa his last time out. With Kaapo Kahkonen putting up subpar numbers, Blackwood will likely continue to see the majority of the starts moving forward.

Shelled by Sens Blackwood stopped 36 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Ottawa.

Impact He came close to earning a point for the Sharks despite the fact the team was out-shot 41-18, but Vladimir Tarasenko had a rebound carom right to him with five seconds left in the third period, and a downed San Jose defender prevented Blackwood from even attempting a save. The 27-year-old netminder has just one win in his last eight outings, going 1-6-0 with a 4.23 GAA and .871 save percentage, but he continues to hold onto the No. 1 role in the crease for the Sharks.
