Yields five goals Blackwood stopped 23 of 28 shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Blackwood was unable to replicate his previous performance against Colorado, in which he stopped 51 of 52 shots in a 2-1 shootout loss in the second game of the campaign. Blackwood has settled into alternating starts with Kaapo Kahkonen, who has played better of late. The same can't be said for Blackwood -- he's allowed 16 goals while going 1-2-0 over his last four appearances. For the season, the 27-year-old is at a 4-12-2 record with a 3.74 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 21 games. The Sharks' next two games are at home but against solid offenses. They're set to face the Kings on Tuesday and the Coyotes on Thursday.

Strong in narrow win Blackwood stopped 36 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Blackwood let a Brenden Dillon shot squeak through in the first period, but that was it. This was Blackwood's second win over his last 10 appearances (2-5-1), a stretch that has seen him start to cede playing time to Kaapo Kahkonen. On the year, Blackwood has a 4-11-2 record with a 3.67 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 20 appearances. Neither of the Sharks' goalies are particularly strong options in fantasy, but the team has played respectable hockey after a near-historically bad pace to begin the campaign. Next up is a road game in Arizona on Friday.

Exits ice first Tuesday Blackwood was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports, indicating he'll guard the cage at home versus Winnipeg.

Impact Blackwood has just one win in his last nine contests, posting a 1-5-1 record, 3.66 GAA and .891 save percentage. The netminder continues to split the workload with Kaapo Kahkonen as neither of the two backstops has separated himself from the other.

Pulled right before comeback Blackwood made 16 saves on 20 shots Thursday before being replaced by Kaapo Kahkonen in a 6-5 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact The Sharks went down 4-0 in the second period and that was the end of Blackwood's night. And then the Sharks roared back, tying the game less than six minutes later. Blackwood is 3-11-2 with a 3.20 GAA and .893 save percentage this season. There's no reason to put him in your blue paint. The Sharks are a struggling squad, and Blackwood isn't a twine savior.

Starting in Detroit Blackwood was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice and will get the road start versus Detroit on Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Impact Blackwood has lost his last two starts, including giving up six goals on 36 shots in a 6-5 loss to the Rangers on Sunday. Overall, Blackwood is 3-11-2 with a 3.72 GAA and .899 save percentage in 2023-24. The Red Wings should give him plenty of trouble as they are third in NHL scoring, averaging 3.79 goals per game.

Falls to New York Blackwood allowed six goals on 36 shots in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Impact It was a tough night for Blackwood, who surrendered three goals in the first period en route to a 6-5 loss. The 26-year-old Blackwood had been sharp coming into Sunday's outing, stopping 61 of 71 shots in his previous two starts. Overall, he's now 3-11-2 with an .899 save percentage on the season. While Blackwood should continue to serve as San Jose's primary starter over Kaapo Kahkonen, he's hard to trust as a fantasy option behind a last-place Sharks team.

Gets no help Thursday Blackwood made 34 saves in Thursday's 3-0 loss to Boston.

Impact The former Devil played well and kept the Bruins off the board until the second period, but once Danton Heinen took advantage of a San Jose giveaway early in the frame to wire a one-timer past Blackwood, the game was effectively over. The 26-year-old netminder has just one win in his last seven appearances, going 1-4-1, but his 3.00 GAA and .909 save percentage are respectable given the quality of the Sharks lineup in front of him.

Slated to start Thursday Blackwood is set to start on the road against Boston on Thursday, according to Max Miller of The Hockey News.

Impact Blackwood has a 3-9-2 record, 3.60 GAA and .902 save percentage in 16 contests this season. He's coming off a great showing in which he saved 33 of 34 shots in a 2-1 win over Washington.

Makes 33 saves in win Blackwood stopped 33 of 34 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.

Impact In a battle of the league's two lowest-scoring teams, it was no surprise this game was played on tight margins. Blackwood got the job done with a strong performance despite the Sharks getting outshot 34-23. This victory snapped a five-game winless stretch for the 26-year-old, who is now at 3-9-2 with a 3.60 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. The Sharks set out on a road trip over the next week, with the first stop in Boston on Thursday, though it's possible head coach David Quinn may save Blackwood for Friday's game against New Jersey, his former team.

Strong but little to show for it Blackwood made 22 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to Montreal on Friday.

Impact It was nice to see Blackwood help secure at least one point from the game. His last win was Nov. 9. The Sharks are all but destined to land in last place at season's end, so Blackwood's numbers will be difficult to swallow from a fantasy perspective. Consider him a match-ups guy only.

Plays two periods in relief Blackwood allowed three goals on 13 shots in relief of Kaapo Kahkonen in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Kahkonen was overwhelmed early in the first period. Blackwood didn't fare much better over the final 40 minutes, but the Kraken let off the pace a bit as the game progressed. Through 14 outings, Blackwood has a 2-9-1 record with a 3.97 GAA and an .896 save percentage. He remains the Sharks' primary starter, but he's only a solid fantasy option in formats that heavily reward saves and shots against without punishing losses and goals against too much. Both Blackwood and Kahkonen should get chances to start when the Sharks host the Canadiens on Friday and the Canucks on Saturday.

Solid in Monday's loss Blackwood surrendered three goals on 37 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.

The loss drops Blackwood to 2-9-1 with a 3.94 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 13 appearances. The Sharks wrap up their brief two-game road trip in Seattle on Wednesday.

Impact It was a disastrous outing for Blackwood the last time he faced the Canucks, giving up four goals on 14 shots (.714 save percentage) after replacing Kaapo Kahkonen. After a brief turnaround in which he put together back-to-back wins versus the Flyers and Oilers, Blackwood seems to be struggling again, allowing four goals in each of his last two contests. It figures to be a long season for both Blackwood and Kahkonen given the limited supporting cast in San Jose.

Impact Blackwood has won his last two starts, making an impressive 77 saves on 80 shots in that span. Overall, the 26-year-old Blackwood is 2-6-1 with an .899 save percentage this season. He'll face an Anaheim team that's scored just three goals in their last two games.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stands tall in win Blackwood stopped 39 of 41 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Impact The Sharks got two-point efforts from Tomas Hertl and Fabian Zetterlund, but Blackwood was the biggest reason they won.

Blackwood will likely face a ton of pucks when he plays, but he's shown flashes of being able to steal a result on occasion. He'll likely get some rest for Friday's game in Vegas.
