Cruises to win Wedgewood stopped 23 of 24 shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Wedgewood closed December with seven wins across nine outings, and this was his best performance of the month. He also received plenty of support from the Stars' offense to cruise to the win, which put him at 11-2-2 on the year. Despite the strong record, he carries a middling 2.92 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 15 appearances. The Stars remain at home for the next week, and they'll host the Canadiens on Tuesday in their next game.

Impact Wedgewood will make his seventh straight start with Jake Oettinger (lower body) still out. In his last seven games, Wedgewood has gone 5-1-1 with a 2.86 GAA and an .899 save percentage. He'll have a favorable matchup Sunday, with the Blackhawks winning just two of their last six contests.

While it wasn't his sharpest outing, Wedgewood has now won four of his last five outings as he improves to 10-2-2 with a .902 save percentage and 3.06 GAA on the season.

Set to face Blues Wedgewood is expected to start on the road against St. Louis on Wednesday.

Wedgewood hasn't exactly shined during Oettinger's absence, but he's been good enough, posting a 4-0-1 record, 2.83 GAA and .900 save percentage. The 31-year-old goaltender has a solid shot of earning another victory Wednesday against St. Louis, which has a 17-15-1 record and is tied for 22nd offensively with 3.00 goals per game.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches third straight win Wedgewood made 19 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact He wasn't that busy, but Wedgewood was in line for the loss until the Stars struck twice in the final 15 seconds of the third period. The 31-year-old netminder has won three straight starts with Jake Oettinger (lower body) sidelined, and Wedgewood hasn't taken a regulation loss since late October, going 8-0-2 over his last 10 outings with a 2.99 GAA and .906 save percentage.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns OT win Wedgewood stopped 17 of 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Wedgewood wasn't at his best Thursday, allowing three goals on just 20 shots, but he'd hold on for the 4-3 overtime victory, his fourth win in his last five outings. The 31-year-old netminder's made three straight starts since taking over for Jake Oettinger (lower body). Wedgewood improved to 8-1-2 with a .903 save percentage and 3.17 GAA on the season. He'll likely be back between the pipes Saturday in Nashville for the final game before the holiday break.

Facing Canucks Wedgewood will defend the home crease versus Vancouver on Thursday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Wedgewood is 11-7-2 with a 2.93 GAA and .901 save percentage this season. Wedgewood will have a difficult task against Vancouver, who are first in NHL scoring, averaging 3.79 goals per contest.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stops 35 shots in overtime win Wedgewood stopped 35 of 38 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime victory over Seattle.

Impact Wedgewood was sharp Monday, holding the Kraken to a pair of second-period goals until Eeli Tolvanen tied the game 3-3 in the final minute of the third. However, Wedgewood would hang on for the win after Thomas Harley's tally in overtime. The 31-year-old netminder is now 2-1-0 with a .909 save percentage in three appearances since taking over for Jake Oettinger (lower body). Overall, Wedgewood's 7-1-2 with a .906 save percentage and 3.21 GAA this season. He'll likely be back between the pipes Thursday against Vancouver, with Oettinger deemed week-to-week.

In goal Monday Wedgewood will get the starting nod at home versus Seattle on Monday, Stars' radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Wedgewood is expected to be backed up by Matt Murray with Jake Oettinger (lower body) dealing with an injury. As such, the veteran Wedgewood will likely continue to see plenty of starts for the time being. For his part, the Ontario native is undefeated in regulation in his last seven outings, posting a 5-0-2 record and 3.16 GAA.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four in loss Wedgewood allowed four goals on 34 shots in the Stars' 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues on Saturday.

Impact Wedgewood was helped out to a 2-0 lead early in the first period before coughing up three unanswered goals. He would eventually give up the game-winning goal in overtime to Colton Parayko to drop his record to 6-1-2. Wedgewood should be expected to take on the starter's role for as long as Jake Oettinger is sidelined for. His next potential start could come Monday versus Seattle.

Starting in St. Louis Wedgewood will guard the road goal Saturday against St. Louis, according to Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Impact Wedgewood stopped 25 of 27 shots in Friday's 5-4 win over Ottawa on Friday after Jake Oettinger (lower body) was injured. Oettinger won't be in the lineup Saturday, so Wedgewood might have Joe O'Brien serve as his emergency backup. Wedgewood has posted a 6-1-1 record this season with a 3.15 GAA and a .907 save percentage in eight appearances. The Blues rank 26th in the league this campaign with 2.86 goals per contest.

Picks up win in relief Wedgewood stopped 25 of 27 shots in relief of Jake Oettinger (lower body) in Friday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

Impact Wedgewood entered at 8:03 of the first period with the Stars already behind 2-0. The team's offense came alive after that, and Wedgewood was able to guide the effort home for a win. The severity of Oettinger's injury isn't yet known, but Wedgewood figures to step in as the Stars' No. 1 goalie in the meantime. Through eight appearances this season, Wedgewood has gone 6-1-1 with a 3.15 GAA and a .907 save percentage, so the potential uptick in playing time should have him on the fantasy radar in standard formats. It's unclear if he'll start Saturday in St. Louis or if a potential call-up -- likely one of Remi Poirier or Matt Murray -- will get the nod.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hangs on for shootout win Wedgewood allowed four goals on 27 shots in a 5-4 shootout win over the Capitals on Thursday.

Impact It wasn't Wedgewood's sharpest effort of the year, though he stepped up when it mattered late, blanking the Capitals in the shootout to earn his fifth win through seven starts. The 31-year-old Wedgewood has seen limited action this season behind Jake Oettinger, though he's been solid when called upon -- he's now 5-1-1 with a .905 save percentage and 3.25 GAA.

Scott Wedgewood's Turnover Allows Capitals To Open The Scoring

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Set to start Thursday Wedgewood is expected to start in Thursday's road game against Washington, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Wedgewood has a 4-1-1 record, 3.18 GAA and .911 save percentage in six contests this season. His previous start came last Thursday when he saved 32 of 36 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to Calgary. Washington ranks 30th this year with 2.40 goals per game.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Yields four goals in overtime loss Wedgewood stopped 32 of 36 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.

Impact The Flames outshot the Stars 36-16, so Wedgewood was far busier than Jacob Markstrom. However, it was a point lost for the Stars after their 3-2 lead slipped away late in the third period. Wedgewood had won his last three starts before this defeat, and he's now 4-1-1 on the year. The 31-year-old has added a solid 3.17 GAA and a .911 save percentage over six starts. Wedgewood started roughly every fourth game in November -- Jake Oettinger remains Dallas' top option in net, but Wedgewood appears set to see regular playing time so that he doesn't go long stretches without game action.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Guarding road net Thursday Wedgewood is expected to start in Thursday's road game against Calgary, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Impact Wedgewood is set to make his first start since Nov. 20 when he saved 30 of 33 shots in a 6-3 win over the Rangers. Over five appearances this season, he has a 4-1-0 record, 3.02 GAA and .916 save percentage. The Flames are in a four-way tie for 20th offensively with 2.91 goals per game, which isn't particularly scary, but the Stars will need to be careful after suffering a 7-4 defeat to Calgary last Friday.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three goals in home victory Wedgewood allowed three goals on 33 shots in Monday's 6-3 win against the Rangers.

Impact Wedgewood was giving starter Jake Oettinger a breather, and it looked like a very tough spot for the backup. New York entered on a 10-0-1 run, so Wedgewood handed it the first loss in regulation dating back to Oct. 19. Even though he has now won three consecutive starts, Wedgewood is all but likely to be back in a ball cap as the backup Wednesday against the Golden Knights.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod against Rangers Wedgewood will be between the home pipes versus the Rangers on Monday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Impact Wedgewood will make his fifth appearance of the season after going 3-1-0 in his four contests while registering a 3.01 GAA and .917 save percentage. The netminder is unlikely to see a significant number of starts this season behind Jake Oettinger, who will almost certainly reach the 60-game mark for the second year in a row.
