Wedgewood stopped 22 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.
Wedgewood picked up his third consecutive win. The 33-year-old allowed an early goal to Nikita Kucherov and a third-period tally to Brayden Point. Wedgewood's hot start to the season has faded, but he remains in a good position with the Avalanche's strong offense to support him. He's now 8-1-2 with a 2.49 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 12 appearances. The Avalanche play their next two games in a road back-to-back with stops in Edmonton on Saturday and in Vancouver on Sunday, so look for Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood to split those starts.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Guarding crease versus Bolts
Rotowire
Wedgewood will be in goal at home against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports.
Wedgewood currently leads the NHL with seven wins in his 11 outings, including his last two performances. Along the way, the 33-year-old netminder posted a 2.53 GAA and a .900 save percentage but is still looking for his first shutout of the year. If Wedgewood continues to perform at this level, he will keep Mackenzie Blackwood firmly cemented to the bench.

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.

Rotowire
Wedgewood will guard the road goal against the Bruins on Saturday, per Corey Masisak of the Denver Post.
Despite allowing four goals on 11 shots in only 13:40 of playing time during Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to Carolina, Wedgewood will make his ninth straight start. He has a 5-0-2 record with a 2.33 GAA and a .910 save percentage through eight appearances this season. Boston ranks 13th in the league with 3.22 goals per game this campaign.

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: 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: Gets starting nod Thursday
Rotowire
Wedgewood will guard the road goal in Columbus on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
This will be Wedgewood's fifth straight start, as Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) has yet to play and is currently on a conditioning stint with AHL Colorado. Wedgewood has had a strong start to the season, posting a 3-0-1 mark with a 1.71 GAA and a .935 save percentage. He certainly has helped his cause to play more in 2025-26 after he made only 24 regular-season appearances last year. The Blue Jackets have scored 10 goals in three games, including seven against the Wild on Saturday.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Gets first taste of defeat
Rotowire
Wedgewood allowed four goals on 22 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.
Wedgewood wasn't particularly sharp against an opportunistic Dallas offense in this contest. He's now allowed six goals on 80 shots while going 2-0-1 over three games to begin 2025-26. Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) may not make the Avalanche's road trip to Buffalo on Monday and Columbus on Thursday, which would open the door for Wedgewood to make another pair of starts.

Wedgewood will patrol the crease for Tuesday's road clash with the Kings, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Wedgewood went 13-4-1 with a career-best 1.99 GAA in 19 regular-season appearances with the Avs last year. While Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is on the shelf, Colorado should continue to heavily utilize Wedgewood between the pipes.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Needed in relief Monday
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped all eight shots he faced in the third period Monday after replacing Mackenzie Blackwood during the Avalanche's 6-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of their first-round series.
The 32-year-old netminder was sharp in his first game action in over two weeks, but the hole Colorado found itself in heading into the final frame was too deep to climb out of. Blackwood had been playing well prior to Monday's collapse, so Wedgewood will likely be back on the bench for Game 6 on Thursday as the Avs try to force a Game 7.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Gets shootout win Tuesday
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 19 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Wedgewood gave up the first two goals of the game but settled in after that. This was Wedgewood's seventh win in eight games since the start of March, a span in which he's allowed just 13 goals on 186 shots. The 32-year-old netminder is at 13-6-2 with a 2.33 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 23 appearances this season between Colorado and Nashville. The Avalanche are almost guaranteed to be the No. 3 seed in the Central Division, so it wouldn't be surprising for Wedgewood to start one of the Avalanche's last three contests, likely during this weekend's back-to-back.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Escapes with shootout win
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 22 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks.
Things weren't looking good for the Avalanche -- they trailed 2-0 after two periods. Goals by Cale Makar and Martin Necas erased the deficit, and Wedgewood stopped two of three shootout attempts to come away with his sixth win in seven outings. The 32-year-old netminder is up to 12-6-2 with a 2.35 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 22 appearances. This was Wedgewood's second start in a row, but there's been no indication from the Avalanche that Mackenzie Blackwood is unavailable even after the team recalled Kevin Mandolese on Wednesday. Head coach Jared Bednar did not reveal his starter for Thursday's game in Columbus after Wednesday's contest.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Set to face Chicago

Wedgewood is expected to start on the road against Chicago on Wednesday, per Conor McGahey of Altitude TV.
Wedgewood stopped 25 of 27 shots (.926 save percentage) in a 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary on Monday. It's unusual for the Avalanche to offer such mild goal support, so there's a solid chance Wedgewood will find himself back in the win column if he's able to put up a similar performance versus the Blackhawks, who rank 27th in the NHL in goals per game with 2.70. Wedgewood is 11-6-2 with a 2.38 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 21 outings between Nashville and Colorado this season.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Tagged with shootout loss
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 25 of 27 shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.
Wedgewood defended the Avs' crease for the first time since March 20, but he couldn't extend his winning run after being credited with the victory in each of his previous five starts. The 32-year-old netminder has made seven appearances since the 4 Nations break and has looked excellent, providing an insurance option between the pipes every time Mackenzie Blackwood needs a rest. Over that seven-game stretch, Wedgewood has gone 5-1-1 with a 1.56 GAA and a .931 save percentage.
