Dazzles in win Blackwood made 34 saves in a 3-2 win over Montreal on Thursday.

Impact Blackwood sparkled on several breakaways, including one by Josh Anderson in the first when the Sharks were up 1-0 and another mid-way through the third by Nick Suzuki when the score was 3-1. He's doing incredible work this season behind a porous team. Blackwood's numbers don't look strong at all -- he's 5-16-2 in 23 starts this season, his GAA is approaching four and his save percentage is well below the mythical hockey Mendoza line (.900). But Blackwood could become trade bait by deadline for a team looking to add depth. His fantasy value would go up in a more competitive city, even in a backup role.

Facing Canadiens Blackwood will be between the visiting pipes in Montreal on Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Blackwood has lost his last five starts, giving up 22 goals on 143 shots as the Sharks are the worst defensive team in the NHL. Blackwood is 4-16-2 with a 3.87 GAA and an .890 save percentage this season. The Canadiens are averaging 2.73 goals per game this season, 28th in the league.

Needed in relief Tuesday Blackwood stopped 22 of 25 shots after replacing Kaapo Kahkonen early in the second period of Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Neither goalie had much success against the Toronto onslaught, but Kahkonen got stuck with the loss. Blackwood hasn't won a game since Dec. 12, losing five straight decisions with a 4.50 GAA and .854 save percentage since that victory, but San Jose has lost 12 straight games overall during that time. Sharks coach David Quinn will likely continue flipping back and forth between the two in the crease until one of them can provide a spark of hope for the flailing club.

Fifth straight loss Blackwood made 29 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Impact Blackwood was great in the first, allowing one power-play goal on a 5-on-3, while stopping 16 shots. The Leafs outshot the Sharks 17-3 in that frame. But Blackwood was on an island - his teammates didn't muster much offense, and they were outworked by a strong Leafs lineup. His last win was Dec. 12, and he has lost five straight since then.

Expected to start Saturday Blackwood will guard the home crease Saturday versus Toronto, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Impact Blackwood has lost his last four contests while stopping 95 of 113 shots (.841 save percentage). He has a 4-15-2 record, 3.84 GAA and .891 save percentage in 24 appearances this campaign. The Leafs rank seventh offensively this year with 3.47 goals per game, so this will be a difficult matchup for Blackwood.

Holds his own in loss Blackwood stopped 28 of 30 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Blackwood kept the Jets off the board for over half of the game. A tipped-in shot and a crisp passing play led to the two goals on his line, and the Sharks couldn't cover it. The 27-year-old goalie hadn't played since before Christmas due to an illness and then a couple of starts for Kaapo Kahkonen. Blackwood is 4-15-2 with a 3.84 GAA and an .891 save percentage through 24 outings. The Sharks have lost 10 straight games, so the next goalie to get a win may get a chance to claim the No. 1 job, as neither Blackwood nor Kahkonen have been all that inspiring lately.

Between pipes Thursday Blackwood will start at home versus the Jets on Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Blackwood backed up Kaapo Kahkonen in the previous two games after battling an illness. With the Sharks struggling again, having lost nine straight contest, neither of their goalies are particularly attractive options in fantasy, and certainly not against a team the caliber of the Jets.

Dressing as backup Blackwood (illness) will dress as the backup goal in Sunday's game versus the Avalanche, per the NHL media site.

Impact Blackwood missed two games with the illness, but the Sharks returned Magnus Chrona to AHL San Jose on Saturday, clearing the way for Blackwood to get back in action. While Kaapo Kahkonen will start Sunday, Blackwood may be able to get back in the crease as soon as Tuesday's game versus the Red Wings.

Making progress Blackwood (illness) is feeling better and progressing towards a potential return for Sunday's road game versus Colorado, coach David Quinn told Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now on...

Impact Blackwood has missed San Jose's last two contests due to the illness. He's 4-14-2 with a 3.92 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 23 outings this season. When Blackwood is ready to return, Magnus Chrona will likely be reassigned to AHL San Jose.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Thursday Blackwood (illness) is unavailable for Thursday's home game against Edmonton, per the NHL media site.

Impact Blackwood is missing his second straight contest because of the illness. Magnus Chrona will make his first career start Thursday while Kaapo Kahkonen will serve as the backup goaltender. Blackwood's next opportunity to return will be for Sunday's road match versus Colorado.

Under the weather Per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now, Blackwood is dealing with an illness ahead of Wednesday's road matchup with the Kings.

Impact Kaapo Kahkonen has been announced as the starter for Wednesday's contest, and Magnus Chrona has been recalled, so at this point it's safe to assume Blackwood won't be available against LA. Another update on the 27-year-old netminder should surface prior to Thursday's matchup with the Oilers.

Struggles in loss Blackwood allowed six goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Canucks. The seventh goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Blackwood has given up at least five goals in four straight outings, all of which were unsurprisingly losses. The 27-year-old is down to 4-14-2 with a 3.92 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 23 appearances this season. With Blackwood struggling and on a cellar-dwelling team, fantasy managers have little reason to roster him. It wouldn't be surprising for Kaapo Kahkonen to get the first game after the holiday break, which is Wednesday on the road versus the Kings.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Saturday Blackwood is expected to guard the road crease against Vancouver on Saturday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Blackwood has lost his last two starts while allowing 10 goals on 58 shots (.828 save percentage). That's dropped him to 4-13-2 with a 3.81 GAA and an .894 save percentage in 22 outings this year. The Canucks lead the league offensively this year with 3.76 goals per game, so it will be difficult for Blackwood to bounce back against that level of competition.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Loses to Coyotes Blackwood allowed five goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes.

Impact Blackwood has allowed four or more goals in four of his last five appearances as his performance continues to slip. The 27-year-old has just one win in that span and just two victories since Nov. 12. For the season, Blackwood is at a 4-13-2 record with a 3.81 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 22 appearances. With Kaapo Kahkonen playing better of late, Blackwood has slipped into an even share of playing time. He could be at risk of falling further into a true backup role if he doesn't turn things around.

Between pipes Thursday Blackwood will tend the twine at home versus the Coyotes on Thursday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Blackwood continues to share the crease with Kaapo Kahkonen, with the duo having evenly divided the workload over the last nine games. In his last four outings, the 27-year-old Blackwood has struggled to keep pucks out of the netting, conceding 16 goals on 121 shots (.868 save percentage).
