Starting in Edmonton Wedgewood will protect the road goal versus the Oilers on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Wedgewood will make his third start of the season after going 1-1-0 with seven goals allowed on 63 shots over his first two outings. The 31-year-old will handle the second half of a back-to-back after Jake Oettinger was busy in a 4-3 win over the Flames on Wednesday. With the Stars apparently committed to giving Oettinger more rest, Wedgewood is getting roughly one start per week.

Loses to Maple Leafs Wedgewood stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Wedgewood held his own, but a Mitchell Marner goal late in the second period proved too much for the Stars to come back from. With seven goals allowed on 63 shots over two starts, Wedgewood has been decent but not outstanding to begin 2023-24. Jake Oettinger figures to get the starting nod Monday versus the Blue Jackets on five full days of rest.

Taking on Toronto Wedgewood will patrol the home crease during Thursday's matchup with the Maple Leafs, Dallas radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Wedgewood was decent in his season debut Saturday versus the Flyers, stopping 36 of 40 shots en route to a 5-4 victory. He'll try to secure his second win of the campaign in a home matchup with a Toronto team that's averaging 3.67 goals per game this season, 10th in the NHL.

Overcomes adversity in win Wedgewood stopped 36 of 40 shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flyers.

Impact The Stars didn't play all that well in front of Wedgewood, but he wasn't bailing them out either. The Flyers tallied three shorthanded goals, but they became the first team to do so and lose when Joe Pavelski won it for the Stars in overtime. Wedgewood is a solid backup netminder, but his playing time is likely to be minimal with a workhorse starter in Jake Oettinger available. Expect Wedgewood to return to the bench for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • DALLASNEWS.COM

Facing Flyers Wedgewood will be between the home pipes versus Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest.

Impact Wedgewood will make his first start of the season. He was 9-8-3 with a 2.72 GAA and .915 save percentage last season. Wedgewood will face the Flyers, who have scored 12 goals in four games and are surprisingly atop of the Metropolitan Division standings.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not much work in relief outing Wedgewood stopped 10 of 11 shots in relief of Jake Oettinger in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3.

Impact Vegas didn't force the issue much after chasing Oettinger just 7:10 into the game. Wedgewood was solid, but the Stars' offense never got going. This was Wedgewood's third relief appearance of the postseason, and he's allowed four goals on 29 shots.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Appears in relief again Wedgewood stopped nine of 10 shots in relief of Jake Oettinger in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kraken in Game 6.

Impact Wedgewood put in a solid effort, though the Kraken were content to slow things down after chasing Oettinger early in the second period. With three goals allowed on 18 shots in two relief outings this postseason, Wedgewood is hardly a threat to take over the starting job. Expect him to be back in the backup role for Monday's Game 7.

MAY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in relief Wedgewood turned aside six of eight shots in relief in a 7-2 loss to Seattle in Game 3 on Sunday.

Impact Wedgewood stepped into the contest for the start of the third period after Jake Oettinger surrendered five goals on 17 shots. However, Wedgewood couldn't stop Seattle's momentum and ended up conceding both a shorthanded and a power-play goal. Despite Oettinger's inconsistency in the second round, he's a major part of why Dallas has gotten this far and will likely be the starting goaltender in Game 4 on Tuesday.

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back at morning skate Wedgewood (illness) was on the ice for Monday's morning skate, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, Wedgewood appears to be available to dress in Game 1 against Minnesota on Monday. He was absent from Sunday's practice because of an illness. Wedgewood is slated to be Jake Oettinger's backup for Dallas' playoff opener Monday.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wedgewood (illness) was not available for Sunday's practice, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Despite missing practice, the 30-year-old is expected to be available Monday against Minnesota and will likely serve as Jake Oettinger's backup. Wedgewood went 9-8-3 with a 2.72 GA and .915 save percentage during the regular season.

Stars take Central Division lead with 5-2 victory over Blues

Wyatt Johnston scored twice, Tyler Seguin had a goal and an assist and the Dallas Stars beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Wednesday night to take the Central Division lead

APRIL 13, 2023 • Associated Press

Stops 16 in win Wedgewood made 16 saves in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Wedgewood gave up two goals in the first period, then settled down as the Stars limited the chances against him. The 30-year-old netminder shouldn't expect to see the ice much the rest of the way. Jake Oettinger will likely start Thursday's season finale with seeding still at stake, and the Stars plan to ride Oettinger throughout the playoffs. Unless Wedgewood makes an appearance Thursday, he'll finish the season 9-8-3 with a 2.72 GAA and .915 save percentage.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Wednesday Wedgewood will tend the twine on the road against the Blues on Wednesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Wedgewood has played in just two games in the Stars' last 23 contests, making just one start in which he made 26 saves in a winning effort. With the club ending the season with a back-to-back, Wedgewood will take the first game which means Jake Oettinger figures to start the season finale versus St. Louis on Thursday. In the postseason, Wedgewood is unlikely to see much, if any, minutes while Oettinger takes the bulk of the workload.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sees work in relief Monday Wedgewood stopped all seven shots he faced after replacing Jake Oettinger to begin the third period of Monday's 6-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact There's no injury concern with Oettinger -- the Stars simply had a commanding lead and elected to give their No. 1 netminder a bit of extra rest ahead of the playoffs. Wedgewood has a 2.76 GAA and .916 save percentage on the season, and while the 30-year-old has seen action in only two games so far in April, he could get one more start as Dallas closes out their schedule with a home-and-home series against St. Louis on Wednesday and Thursday.

Stars win, Robertson gets 1st 100-point season in Dallas

Jason Robertson had a power-play goal and three assists to become the first Dallas player with a 100-point season, and the Stars clinched a playoff spot with a 5-1 win over the Nas...

APRIL 4, 2023 • Associated Press

Wins in return Wedgewood stopped 26 of 27 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Wedgewood had been out for about six weeks due to a lower-body injury. He helped AHL Texas clinch a playoff spot over the weekend and did the same for the big club with Monday's impressive win, which saw him keep the Predators off the board deep into the third period. Wedgewood is up to 8-8-3 with a 2.81 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 19 games. He's been a capable backup this season, but he's unlikely to see much more than one or two games the rest of the way, as Jake Oettinger will continue to start the majority of the time.

APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves ice first Wedgewood was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Hockey Now reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes against Nashville.

Impact Wedgewood -- who was recently with AHL Texas on a conditioning assignment -- will be making his first NHL start since Feb. 128 versus Columbus. In his last five appearances for Dallas, the veteran netminder's only win was a 34-save shutout against the Kings, posting an overall 1-4-0 record and .920 save percentage. The Stars have just one back-to-back remaining on the schedule, which may be the last we see of Wedgewood this season with Jake Oettinger the No. 1 the rest of the way.

APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back from conditioning loan Wedgewood (lower body) was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Texas on Sunday.

Impact Wedgewood stopped 24 of 26 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss against San Jose on March 31 during his brief time in the minors. Dallas loaned Matt Murray to AHL Texas in a corresponding move, so it appears as though Wedgewood will be available to return to the lineup Monday against Nashville.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On conditioning stint Wedgewood (lower body) has been sent to AHL Texas on a conditioning stint Thursday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Impact Wedgewood will get in some much needed playing time as he has missed the last 17 games with the injury. He is 7-8-3 with a 2.91 GAA and .913 save percentage. Wedgewood will be recalled next week.

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still not ready to play Wedgewood (lower body) will not dress against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Wedgewood will be out of action for his 17th consecutive contest due to his lower-body injury. Even once given the all-clear, the 30-year-old backstop figures to be relegated to the No. 2 role, though it's possible Wedgewood could see a few extra starts down the stretch to give Jake Oettinger a break before the postseason.

Blackhawks take losing streak into home matchup against the Stars

The Chicago Blackhawks will try to end a five-game slide when they play the Dallas Stars

MARCH 27, 2023 • Associated Press

Traveling with team Wedgewood (lower body) will join the Stars for their road clash with Chicago on Tuesday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Impact Wedgewood hasn't played in an NHL game since Feb. 18 against Columbus, a stretch of 16 contests on the shelf. Even when healthy, the veteran netminder has played in a mere 18 games this year, posting a 7-8-3 record with a 2.91 GAA and one shutout. Even if Wedgewood suits up versus the Blackhawks, it will likely be in a backup role behind Jake Oettinger.

MARCH 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Wedgewood (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Penguins, per the NHL media site.

Impact Wedgewood has been skating again for over a week, but he remains unable to serve as backup. His next chance to participate is Saturday versus the Canucks.
