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.

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.

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.

Overall, he's 14-6-2 with a 2.32 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 24 appearances between the Avalanche and the Predators this season.

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.
