Loses to former team Wedgewood surrendered four goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

Impact While the Predators' new-look offense controlled play pretty well, the Stars were opportunistic against their former teammate, striking four times in the second period. Wedgewood got the Opening Night assignment because Juuse Saros (lower body) was unavailable. Depending on the length of Saros' absence, Wedgewood may have some short-term fantasy appeal, but he was roughly average last season with a 16-7-5 record, 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage over 32 appearances.

Over 32 regular-season appearances with the Stars last year, he posted a 16-7-5 record, 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Shaky again Wednesday Wedgewood stopped just 11 of 15 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 preseason win over the Hurricanes.

Impact While Nashville's offense dominated play and built a 3-0 lead midway through the first period, Wedgewood wasn't exactly sharp on the limited shot volume he faced. The 32-year-old goalie was brought in this offseason to provide a steady veteran backup to Juuse Saros, but Wedgewood has coughed up 10 goals on only 38 shots in two exhibition outings for the Preds. If his struggles continue into the regular season, Magnus Chrona or Matt Murray could get a look as Saros' understudy instead.

Impact Starter Jake Oettinger allowed four goals on only 10 shots so Wedgewood was thrust into the game 3:52 into the second period to relieve him of his duties. The Devils only sent 10 shots his way and Wedgewood played solid but the Stars could not overcome the hole that they dug for themselves. Prior to this game, Wedgewood was only given one start for all of March, albeit a win, so it is clear that Oettinger is the clear cut No. 1 netminder for Dallas.

MARCH 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Wedgewood gave up a goal 26 seconds into the game, but it came off a turnover. The Stars limited mistakes from there, and Wedgewood took care of the rest to earn his first win since Jan. 20.

Wedgewood is up to 14-6-5 with a 2.89 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 28 appearances.
