Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 21 of 23 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Wedgewood delivered a bounce-back performance Friday against a struggling Golden Knights team that has lost three of its last four contests. Wedgewood was beaten twice in the final period, but the Avalanche provided him with enough support to help the 33-year-old earn his seventh win of the season. This was also the first time since Oct. 18 that Wedgewood didn't allow three or more goals.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Draws home start Tuesday
Rotowire
Wedgewood will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus New Jersey, according to Bailey Curtis of DNVR Sports.
Wedgewood has seen workhorse usage early in 2025-26, but that will change soon, as Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is set to serve as the backup for Tuesday's game. The 33-year-old Wedgewood is 5-1-2 with a .904 save percentage and a 2.42 GAA over nine appearances this year. The veteran netminder will have a tough test Tuesday, as the Devils have won eight consecutive contests and have scored no less than three goals in all nine of their games in 2025-26.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Bounced by B's
Rotowire
Wedgewood made 16 saves in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.
It was a tough afternoon for the journeyman netminder, who saw two of the goals against him scored from behind the net. Viktor Arvidsson banked in a shot off Wedgewood's back late in the first period, and Morgan Geekie faked a wraparound attempt before tucking the puck inside the near post with five seconds left in the second. Wedgewood had a strong start to the season, going 5-0-1 over his first six appearances with a 1.48 GAA and a .938 save percentage, but he's given up 11 goals on just 63 shots over his last three outings.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Pulled after giving up four goals
Rotowire
Wedgewood allowed four goals on 11 shots in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.
Wedgewood was pulled after the Hurricanes capitalized early and often. The 33-year-old avoided taking a result, as the Avalanche rallied to tie the game, forcing overtime before losing in a shootout, which went on Trent Miner's ledger. Wedgewood remains 5-0-2 with a 2.32 GAA and a .910 save percentage, but he's allowed four goals in each of his last two outings. Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) seems to be nearing a return, and that would likely see Wedgewood drop into at least a timeshare if not the backup role outright. The Avalanche have a pair of road games this weekend, facing the Bruins on Saturday and the Devils on Sunday.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Surrenders four goals to Mammoth
Rotowire
Wedgewood allowed four goals on 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
Wedgewood has allowed exactly four goals in both of his overtime losses this season, as well as exactly one goal against in each of his five wins. The 33-year-old was unable to hold back the Mammoth in the second period, and Dylan Guenther added the game-winner 33 seconds into overtime. Wedgewood is now at a 1.84 GAA and a .927 save percentage through seven starts as he continues to fill in for Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body). If Blackwood isn't ready for Thursday's game against the Hurricanes, Wedgewood would likely get the nod again.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Tending twine in Utah
Rotowire
Wedgewood will protect the road goal versus the Mammoth on Tuesday.
This will be Wedgewood's seventh straight start. He's allowed exactly one goal in five of his first six outings, going 5-0-1 to begin the year. Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) appears to be nearing a return, but Wedgewood has played too well to slip fully back into the backup role right away, so fantasy managers should hold onto him to see how the workload gets distributed.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Faces little traffic in win
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 13 of 14 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.
Wedgewood has won five of his six starts, with the lone defeat coming in a shootout. The 33-year-old had almost no work to do Saturday, as he gave up a goal to John Beecher at 3:11 of the first period before shutting the door the rest of the way. Wedgewood has a 1.48 GAA and .938 save percentage and has more than admirably filled in for Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body), who recently completed a conditioning stint with AHL Colorado. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising for Wedgewood to claim a timeshare even once Blackwood is healthy, which could benefit both goalies. The Avalanche play in Utah on Tuesday, which could make goal support a little harder to come by against the stingy Mammoth.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Excellent again in home opener
Rotowire
Wedgewood allowed one goal on 32 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Mammoth.
Wedgewood has been exactly what the Avalanche have needed to get by without Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) early in the season. This was Wedgewood's second win in as many starts, and he's allowed just two goals on 57 shots in those games. The 33-year-old netminder's strong play will allow Colorado to be careful with Blackwood's recovery. As such, expect Wedgewood to get the starting nod again Saturday versus the Stars in the Avalanche's first game of the season against a division rival.
