Mackenzie Blackwood - Page 6 - NHL News & Rumors

Stunned by Nashville Blackwood gave up five goals on 28 shots in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Predators. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Blackwood's return from a lower-body injury didn't go as planned, as he instead had his worst outing of the season. Prior to the injury, he had rattled off seven straight wins, allowing a total of 13 goals in that span. The 29-year-old netminder is likely set to resume sharing the crease with Scott Wedgewood moving forward, though the Avalanche's recent shaky play could open the door for one goalie or the other to claim more of a starting role with a hot streak. Blackwood is 13-2-1 with a 2.26 GAA and a .917 save percentage over 16 appearances. The Avalanche are set to host the Capitals on Monday.

Suffers lower-body injury Blackwood was placed on injured reserve Friday because of a lower-body injury, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

Impact Blackwood will miss Colorado's three-game road trip, which features matches in Carolina, Florida and Tampa Bay on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday, respectively. He'll be re-evaluated after the trip. Blackwood has a 13-1-1 record, 2.07 GAA and .924 save percentage in 15 appearances this season. Scott Wedgewood should be expected to start in at least two of Colorado's next three games due to Blackwood's absence, and it's possible Wedgewood will be utilitized in both halves of the Avalanche's back-to-back set over the weekend. Trent Miner was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday due to Blackwood's injury.

Excels in net Sunday Blackwood turned aside 28 of 29 shots on goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Blackwood thrived in Sunday's contest, as he allowed just one even-strength goal near the five-minute mark of the third period. With the win, he is up to an 11-1-1 record with a .924 save percentage and a 2.16 GAA across 13 appearances this season. Sunday's victory brought the 29-year-old's win streak up to five games. Very few netminders across the league have been better than Blackwood when he is healthy, as he currently ranks third in save percentage and fifth in GAA among goalies who have appeared in double-digit games this season. He and Scott Wedgewood are a true one-two punch in net for Colorado, giving both elite fantasy value in all league formats. Blackwood will likely get a game of rest Tuesday before having a solid chance to play Saturday against the Golden Knights.
