Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Shutout extends win streak to eight
Rotowire
Wedgewood posted a 22-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Wedgewood's ninth shutout in his career was his first this season. He extended his winning streak to eight games, a span in which he's given up just 14 goals on 193 shots (.927 save percentage). The 33-year-old netminder is up to 13-1-2 on the year with a 2.09 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 17 starts. Mackenzie Blackwood posted a shutout win over the Predators on Saturday, so both of the Avalanche's goalies will have momentum heading into Wednesday's home game versus the Sharks. While Wedgewood has been elite this season, it wouldn't be a surprise to see this crease turn into an even timeshare if both netminders continue to play well.

Rotowire
Wedgewood will protect the road net Sunday in Chicago, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Wedgewood heads into this Central Division matchup with a perfect 7-0-0 record, 2.00 GAA and .924 save percentage across his last seven outings. The Blackhawks have taken a step forward this year, but they have yet to face the league's top team in the Avalanche. Colorado has just one regulation loss through 21 games this season, while the Blackhawks have dropped back-to-back contests and were shelled by the Sabres on Friday by a 9-3 score.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Not at his best Thursday
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 16 of 19 shots in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Wedgewood was far from his best in this contest, but the Avalanche's top players more than made up for it. It's still a win, and that's now seven in a row for Wedgewood, who has given up two goals or less in five of those victories. He's at a 12-1-2 record with a 2.23 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 16 appearances. The 33-year-old hasn't played more than two games in a row since Mackenzie Blackwood's season debut, and both goalies should get a start in this weekend's road back-to-back versus Nashville and Chicago on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Excellent in sixth straight win
Rotowire
Wedgewood allowed one goal on 29 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
The game was closer than the final score would indicate, as the Avalanche scored twice in the final minute. Wedgewood gave up a goal to Emil Heineman at 2:05 of the first period but shut the door after that to bank his sixth straight win. This was his third game in a row allowing just one tally. Wedgewood is up to 11-1-2 on the year with a 2.17 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 15 starts. He'll continue to function as the starter until his performance dips, though Mackenzie Blackwood will get starts in more than just back-to-back sets. The Avalanche have three full days off before hosting the Rangers on Thursday.

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: 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.

Rotowire
Wedgewood will guard the road goal in Columbus on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

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.

Rotowire
Wedgewood allowed four goals on 22 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.

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: 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.

Rotowire

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.
