Blackwood allowed five goals on 40 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blues.
Blackwood was sharp through two periods, but the Blues pushed back in the third and tied the game with three goals in that frame. Brayden Schenn completed the visitors' comeback 45 seconds into overtime. The big takeaway from Opening Night in San Jose is the 40 shots against -- Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek figure to face a lot of rubber behind a lackluster defense this year. In leagues that value saves, that will be a plus, but Blackwood's ratios are going to be unappealing for the majority of fantasy managers, and wins will be hard to come by as well.
