Facing former club Thursday Blackwood will tend the twine at home versus San Jose on Thursday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Blackwood started the season with the Sharks, going 6-9-3 with a 3.00 GAA, .909 save percentage and one shutout in 19 outings. Since his move to Colorado, the 28-year-old Ontario native has posted career-best numbers in both GAA (2.12) and save percentage (.921).

Light workload in win Blackwood stopped 18 of 20 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Impact Blackwood was lightly tested in the win, his fourth in his last five outings. Over that span, he's allowed 12 goals, and he hasn't faced more than 29 shots in any of those games as the Avalanche's defense has stepped up to keep pucks from getting to the net. 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.

Impact Blackwood has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .924 save percentage over six games in February. He'll look to keep things rolling in a somewhat favorable matchup, as the Wild are on the second half of a back-to-back. The Wild are 1-2-0 with seven goals scored over three games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break.

Strong in win against former team Blackwood stopped 22 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Devils.

Impact Blackwood allowed just one goal on 67 shots across two matchups against the Devils this season. The 28-year-old had to play well early in this contest, which was close until the Avalanche ran away with the lead late in the third period. Blackwood improved to 21-16-5 with a 2.50 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 43 appearances this season. The Avalanche are in action Friday at home versus the Wild in a game that has significant weight in the Central Division standings.

NJD@COL: Hughes scores goal against Mackenzie Blackwood | New Jersey Devils Jack Hughes (NJD) scores goal against Mackenzie Blackwood (COL) to make it 2 - 1

FEBRUARY 27, 2025 • NHL.COM

Set to face New Jersey Blackwood is expected to start at home against the Devils on Wednesday, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Impact Blackwood has a 20-16-5 record, 2.54 GAA and .915 save percentage in 42 appearances between San Jose and Colorado in 2024-25. He's coming off a rough start in which he allowed three goals on 25 shots en route to a 3-1 loss to St. Louis on Sunday. Blackwood started his NHL career with the Devils and played for them through the 2022-23 campaign. He started against his former team Nov. 10 and earned a 44-save shutout against the Devils.

Gives up three goals Sunday Blackwood stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Blues.

Impact Blackwood gave up three unanswered goals in the final 10 minutes of the second period, and that was a hole the Avs couldn't get out of. Blackwood played well before the break, winning four of his previous five starts while posting a pristine 1.62 GAA in that span, and he'll aim to bounce back in his next start, presumably against the Devils on Wednesday.

Starting against St. Louis Blackwood will start Sunday's road game against the Blues, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Blackwood didn't play in Saturday's loss to Nashville as the Avalanche resumed play, but he'll tend the twine in the second half of the back-to-back set. He was productive in his five starts leading up to the 4 Nations Face-Off break, as he went 4-1-0 with a 1.62 GAA and .938 save percentage.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches 20-win mark Blackwood stopped 23 of 27 shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.

Impact Blackwood played back-to-back games in Alberta, and came away with wins in both. This was a challenging matchup, as expected, but Blackwood held firm in the third period and made Martin Necas' tally with 4:22 left in the frame stand as the game-winner. The 28-year-old Blackwood goes into the 4 Nations Face-Off break a winner in five of his last seven starts, improving to 20-15-5 with a 2.53 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 41 appearances. He won't be on international duty during the break, so he'll have two weeks to rest up before the season resumes with a back-to-back on the road -- the Avalanche visit Nashville on Feb. 22 and St. Louis on Feb. 23.

Going back-to-back Blackwood will start on the road versus the Oilers on Friday, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports.

Impact Blackwood will start both halves of a back-to-back, as the Avalanche apparently don't want Trent Miner facing the Oilers with Scott Wedgewood (upper body) still ailing. Blackwood made 27 saves on 29 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames. The 28-year-old has won four of his last six starts with just 12 goals allowed in that span, though the Oilers' offense is always good to produce a challenge, especially in the second half of a back-to-back.

Holds firm for win Blackwood stopped 27 of 29 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Blackwood picked up his fourth win in his last six outings, bouncing back from being on the wrong side of a shutout Tuesday in Vancouver. The Avalanche's three-goal second period gave him all the support he needed. The 28-year-old improved to 19-15-5 with a 2.49 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 40 contests overall. The Avalanche are back in action Friday against the Oilers, and it's not yet clear who will start in goal for that game.

FEBRUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start against Calgary Blackwood was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports, indicating that he'll draw the start on the road against Calgary.

Impact Blackwood will draw a sixth consecutive start Thursday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a night off in Edmonton on Friday since it's the second half of a back-to-back set. Blackwood has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and .927 save percentage over his last five starts, a span that includes a pair of shutout wins. The Flames are a favorable opponent, as they're averaging 2.66 goals per game this season, which is the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.

FEBRUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Loses to Canucks Blackwood allowed two goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Canucks. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact For the third game in a row, the Avalanche were involved in a shutout, but this was the first time in that stretch it wasn't in their favor. Blackwood still put in a decent performance but didn't get any scoring support. He's won three of his last five outings while allowing 10 goals in that span. For the season, he's 18-15-5 with a 2.50 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 39 appearances. Wedgewood will likely start once more before the 4 Nations Face-Off break, either in Calgary on Thursday or in Edmonton on Friday.

FEBRUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting again Tuesday Blackwood will protect the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday.

Impact Blackwood has earned a shutout in each of his last two starts, needing just 43 total saves in that span. The 28-year-old looks to be back in a groove after a sluggish second half of January. He'll face a Canucks team still looking to find some chemistry after a couple of trades last week, including one that sent J.T. Miller to the Rangers.

Back-to-back shutouts Blackwood posted a 24-save shutout Sunday in a 2-0 win over the Flyers.

Impact After a rough stretch in which Blackwood conceded at least three goals in five consecutive games, the Ontario native has earned back-to-back shutouts. Blackwood was one of two netminders in the NHL to make at least 12 appearances in the month of January, so a break in the schedule when the 4 Nations Face-Off begins Feb. 12 should benefit the 28-year-old in a big way. The move to Colorado has done wonders for the 2015 second-round pick -- he has a .925 save percentage and a 2.03 GAA while winning 12 of 18 starts since being acquired in a trade from San Jose on Dec. 9.

Starting Sunday Blackwood will patrol the home crease against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Impact Blackwood is coming off a 19-save shutout win over St. Louis on Friday. He has posted a record of 11-5-2 with a 2.15 GAA and a .921 save percentage in his last 18 appearances. Philadelphia sits 19th in the league with 2.85 goals per game in 2024-25.

Cruises to shutout win Blackwood posted a 19-save shutout in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blues.

Impact Blackwood was spotted a 4-0 lead after the first period, and the Blues never really put up much of a threat. This performance ended a stretch of five straight outings in which Blackwood gave up at least three goals. Unsurprisingly, he won just once in that span. The 28-year-old netminder is now 17-14-5 with a 2.58 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 37 appearances between the Avalanche and the Sharks. The Avalanche are back in action Sunday versus the Flyers.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start against St. Louis Blackwood is expected to start at home against the Blues on Friday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Impact Blackwood will tend the twine in a third consecutive game Friday, but he hasn't been particularly sharp in recent matchups. The 28-year-old has gone 1-3-1 with a 3.68 GAA and .874 save percentage over his last five starts but will have a favorable matchup against the Blues, who are averaging 2.75 goals per game this season, which is the eighth-worst mark in the NHL.
