Blackwood signed a five-year, $26.25 million contract extension with Colorado on Friday.
Blackwood was dealt to Colorado from San Jose on Dec. 9, and it didn't take long to get his signature on a new contract. Blackwood has solidified the Avalanche goaltending, as he is 3-1-0 with a 2.03 GAA and a .931 save percentage since the trade and is expected to be their No. 1 goaltender for the next several years.
