Blackwood allowed five goals on 36 shots in Saturday's 6-5 preseason win over the Golden Knights.
Blackwood didn't play well, but the Sharks' third-period comeback spared him from taking the loss. The 27-year-old played behind a mix of NHL and AHL players in the contest. Blackwood gave up 10 goals on 79 shots over three preseason contests. He will share the crease with Vitek Vanecek to begin 2024-25, though it remains to be seen if one goalie will work his way into a starting role.
