Scott Wedgewood - NHL News & Rumors

Allows three goals in loss Wedgewood made 37 saves in a 4-3 loss to the Devils on Tuesday.

Impact He allowed three goals. Wedgewood was pulled for an extra attacker around the three-quarter mark of the third before the Devils popped in the eventual winner. His teammates roared back with two quick goals in the last three-plus minutes to make the score look closer than the game actually was. Wedgewood looked sharp, especially with the heavy volume of shots. But he's still clearly the backup with Mackenzie Blackwood getting the majority of starts. Wedgewood remains a decent option in dailies when he does slot into the paint -- he has a 1-1-1 record with a 2.65 GAA and sharp .912 save percentage.

Starting in New Jersey on Tuesday Wedgewood will defend the road cage against the Devils on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact Wedgewood will get the start in the second half of Colorado's back-to-back, as Mackenzie Blackwood got the nod for Monday's game in Philadelphia. Wedgewood is operating as the clear-cut No. netminder to begin the season -- it will be just his third start of the season Tuesday. The Devils are 3-2-0 at home so far this year and have generated 3.13 goals per game, which is tied for 13th in the NHL.

Falls to Stars in shootout Wedgewood allowed two goals on 22 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Stars.

Impact Wedgewood kept the game close, but he was unable to snag the win. He's allowed five goals on 51 shots while going 1-0-1 over two starts to begin the season. Mackenzie Blackwood has operated as the Avalanche's starter in goal this season, and while Wedgewood could likely handle a larger workload, it's unclear if he'll get that opportunity. The Avalanche are set to host the Penguins on Friday, though Wedgewood's next start will likely be during a road back-to-back next week with games in Philadelphia on Monday and in New Jersey on Tuesday.

Tending twine Wednesday Wedgewood will guard the home goal versus the Stars on Wednesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Wedgewood will handle the second half of the back-to-back after Mackenzie Blackwood won a 3-2 game versus the Stars on Tuesday. The 34-year-old Wedgewood won his only other appearance this season, stopping 26 of 29 shots versus the Flames last Thursday.

Gets plenty of support in win Wedgewood stopped 26 of 29 shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Wedgewood wasn't great in his first start of the year, but the Avalanche gave him plenty of support. The 34-year-old netminder did well with a steady workload in 2025-26, posting a 2.02 GAA and a .921 save percentage over a career-high 45 regular-season games. With Mackenzie Blackwood off to a strong start this year, that kind of consistent playing time may not be available to Wedgewood. Expect Blackwood to be back in the crease Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, though the two goalies should split next week's home-and-home set against the Stars.

Makar has 2 goals and an assist in the Avs' 7-3 victory over the winless Flames

Cale Makar had two goals and an assist, Devon Toews and Jaden Schwartz also each scored twice and the Colorado Avalanche beat the winless Calgary Flames 7-3 on Thursday night

In goal Thursday Wedgewood will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Thursday.

Impact Wedgewood will make his first start of the season while the Avalanche wrap up a back-to-back set. Mackenzie Blackwood has looked good while going 2-1-0 with eight goals allowed over his first three starts of the year. If Blackwood continues to start regularly, Wedgewood will have to settle for the backup role, though he's also a fairly reliable goalie in his own right.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing to end preseason Wedgewood made 33 saves in Saturday's 2-0 preseason loss to the Mammoth.

Impact The Avalanche couldn't solve Karel Vejmelka in the other crease, but Wedgewood did what he could to keep his team in the game after allowing two first-period goals, one on the power play. Wedgewood will split the workload in the Colorado crease with Mackenzie Blackwood once again after posting a 31-6-6 record in 45 regular-season appearances last season with a 2.02 GAA and .921 save percentage.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Wedgewood will defend the road net in Saturday's preseason finale against Utah, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Wedgewood went 31-6-6 with four shutouts, a 2.02 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 45 outings during the 2025-26 regular season. He will compete for starts with Mackenzie Blackwood in the 2026-27 campaign.

Solid effort in loss Wedgewood stopped 13 of 14 shots on net he saw in Monday's 3-1 preseason loss against the Jets.

Impact Wedgewood played the first 31:13 of Monday's contest, and he looked sharp outside of the lone goal he allowed to Gabriel Vilardi. The 34-year-old Wedgewood picked up where he left off last season, where he posted a 31-6-6 record, a 2.02 GAA and a .921 save percentage across 45 regular-season outings. He's poised to serve in one of the league's most effective tandems from last season alongside Mackenzie Blackwood to begin the 2026-27 season.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Monday Head coach Jared Bednar said that Wedgewood will draw the road start during Monday's preseason game against Winnipeg, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Previous reports indicated that Ilya Nabokov would defend the road crease Monday, but Bednar announced after Sunday's preseason win over the Mammoth that Wedgewood will begin the matchup in the crease, with Nabokov slated to enter about halfway through the game. Wedgewood made 45 regular-season appearances for the Avalanche last year and went 31-6-6 with a 2.02 GAA and .921 save percentage, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him push for playing time alongside Mackenzie Blackwood once again during the 2026-27 campaign.

Squanders three-goal lead Wedgewood stopped 18 of 22 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Wedgewood was given the nod again in Vegas despite losing the previous two games on home ice. The Avalanche gave him a 3-0 lead in the first period, but the Golden Knights charged back and took the contest. This is the first time Wedgewood has lost three straight games all year. He's down to 7-4 with a 2.47 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 11 playoff outings. With Wedgewood's struggles against the Golden Knights, head coach Jared Bednar may consider turning to Mackenzie Blackwood with the Avalanche's season on the line in Game 4 on Tuesday.

Tending twine in Vegas Wedgewood will be between the road pipes in Game 3 versus the Golden Knights on Sunday.

Impact Wedgewood started the playoffs with six straight wins, but he's faltered lately, going 1-3 over his last four outings while allowing eight goals on 70 shots. However, head coach Jared Bednar is showing trust in the the 33-year-old netminder, as Colorado's bench boss could have elected to go with Mackenzie Blackwood since Wedgewood was in net for the first two games of this series, both of which were losses. The Avalanche are getting a huge boost to their lineup Sunday -- Cale Makar (upper body) is giving it a go in his usual spot on the No. 1 pairing next to Devon Toews.
