Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Holds on for win
Blackwood stopped 34 of 37 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
Blackwood faced heavier pressure than expected, and he gave up all three goals in the middle frame. The Avalanche were able to take over in the third period to get the win, with Blackwood improving to 10-1-1 on the year in the process. This was just the second time in his last nine outings that he allowed three or more goals. He's at a 2.26 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 12 appearances, and he's been sharing the crease with Scott Wedgewood lately. The Avalanche host the Jets on Friday before visiting the Wild on Sunday, and Blackwood figures to play in at least one of those games.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Keeps winning Thursday
Blackwood stopped 23 of 25 shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.
Blackwood took advantage of a matchup against a tired opponent and collected his ninth win in 11 appearances this season. He's won five of his last six starts, allowing two goals or less in each of those victories. On the year, the 29-year-old has a 2.19 GAA and a .920 save percentage. Scott Wedgewood (back) was able to back up Blackwood on Thursday, so it's not yet clear which goalie will start Saturday at home versus the Predators.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Starting Thursday
Blackwood will be between the home pipes versus Florida on Thursday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Blackwood has been sensational since returning from a lower-body injury that cost him the first 10 games of the season. He is 8-1-1 with a 2.21 GAA and a .920 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. The Panthers are tied for 10th in NHL scoring, scoring 3.14 goals per game.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Not starting after all
Blackwood will not be starting on the road against the Predators on Tuesday, contrary to a previous report, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Blackwood was the first goalie to leave the ice, which was a strong indication that he would be in the crease, but it seems that Scott Wedgewood will get the nod instead. The 29-year-old Blackwood has suffered one regulation loss in 10 outings this year while posting a 2.21 GAA and two shutouts.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: First off Tuesday
Blackwood is scheduled to patrol the blue paint Tuesday in Nashville, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Blackwood is on a roll of late, going 6-1-0 with a 1.70 GAA and a .941 save percentage across his last seven appearances. He's allowed two goals or less in six of those seven outings. This should be a favorable matchup for the 29-year-old, as Nashville has scored 2.61 goals per game this season, which is the fourth-worst mark in the league. Furthermore, Blackwood posted a 35-save shutout in Nashville on Nov. 22.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Hangs on for win
Blackwood made 24 saves on 26 attempts on goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
After allowing two goals in the first 26 minutes of Sunday's contest, Blackwood shut down the Flyers down the stretch to grab his second consecutive win. With the victory, the 28-year-old netminder is up to an 8-1-1 record with a 2.21 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 10 games this season. He has four wins in his last five tries and has seen an uptick in playing time in the absence of Scott Wedgewood (back). Regardless of how the Avalanche divide up the playing time in goal, Blackwood remains a top-tier option in fantasy with Colorado off to a 21-2-6 start to the year. Wedgewood is expected to suit up Tuesday against the Predators, but the Avalanche have yet to name a starter in net for that game.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Bounces back from loss
Blackwood made 24 saves Saturday in a 3-2 overtime victory over the Rangers.
Blackwood was solid throughout the contest. Conor Sheary went high glove from the left circle as Cale Makar tried to lift his stick from behind early in the third. Artemi Panarin tied the game with a one-timer with the goalie pulled for an extra attacker, but Blackwood didn't see it through traffic. Blackwood shook off Thursday's loss, which was his first in regulation this season. He is now 7-1-1 with a 2.23 GAA and a .920 save percentage.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: In goal Saturday
Blackwood will guard the road goal against the Rangers on Saturday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Blackwood stopped 36 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Islanders, with the sixth goal being an empty-netter. He has posted a 6-1-1 record while allowing 17 goals on 212 shots and posting two shutouts in eight appearances this season. The Rangers sit 27th in the league with 2.69 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Records first regulation loss
Blackwood made 36 saves on 41 attempts on goal in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Islanders.
Blackwood got off on the wrong foot in Thursday's contest as he allowed the first four goals of the contest through 28 minutes. With the loss, he now has a 6-1-1 record with a 2.28 GAA and a .920 save percentage through eight appearances this season. The 28-year-old netminder was off to an elite start this season, with Thursday's loss ending his six-game win streak. Blackwood has shown flashes of greatness with a shutout in a quarter of his appearances this season, but will likely have his ceiling in fantasy limited while operating in tandem with Scott Wedgewood. Regardless, Blackwood should be rostered in all fantasy formats while the Avalanche remain atop the Central Division standings. His next opportunity to bounce back is Saturday in a tilt with the Rangers.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Perfect in relief for win
Blackwood stopped all 11 shots he faced in relief of Scott Wedgewood (upper body) in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Canucks.
Blackwood was called upon just over halfway through the second period, entering after a TV timeout. The 28-year-old didn't face much traffic to close out that frame, and while the Canucks generated more shots in the third, he held them at bay to collect his sixth straight win. He's allowed just nine goals on 149 shots (.940 save percentage) during the streak, which includes everything but his season debut. Blackwood and Wedgewood were starting to settle into an even share of the crease, but Wedgewood's injury could lead to Blackwood getting significant playing time for a while, depending on the severity. The Avalanche begin a four-game road trip versus the Islanders on Thursday, and it includes a back-to-back (Saturday against the Rangers, Sunday versus the Flyers).

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Cruises to fifth win
Blackwood stopped 21 shots in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Canadiens.
The Avalanche were already ahead 4-0 before Blackwood gave up his first goal, and the Habs never seriously threatened a comeback. The 28-year-old netminder has yet to get tagged with a regulation loss this season since making his belated debut at the beginning of November, going 5-0-1 with a 1.98 GAA and a .925 save percentage while working in a timeshare with Scott Wedgewood.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Guarding home goal
Blackwood is set to start at home against Montreal on Saturday.
Blackwood is coming off back-to-back shutout victories against San Jose on Wednesday and Nashville on Nov. 22. He's 4-0-1 with a 1.98 GAA and a .928 save percentage in five outings this year. The Canadiens are 13-7-3 and rank fourth in goals per game with 3.48.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Records second straight shutout
Blackwood posted a 26-save shutout in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Sharks.
Blackwood earned his second straight shutout after blanking the Predators in a 3-0 win last Saturday. The 28-year-old netminder has won his past four starts while stopping 101 of 108 shots (.935 save percentage) over that stretch. His red-hot play between the pipes should translate to more starts for a Colorado team that sits at the top of the NHL standings thanks to its ongoing 10-game winning streak.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Slated to face San Jose
Blackwood is slated to start at home against San Jose on Wednesday, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Blackwood has won his past three games while stopping 82 of 89 shots (.921 save percentage). That includes a 35-save shutout over Nashville in his last start Saturday. San Jose is tied for 22nd in goals per game with 2.91.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Locks things down in shutout win
Blackwood posted a 35-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.
The final score was bolstered by two empty-netters -- Blackwood had a one-goal lead for the vast majority of the contest. The Avalanche weren't at their best despite Brent Burns' goal 15 seconds into the game, but Blackwood was sharp. This was the 28-year-old goalie's first shutout of the season, and he's won his last three outings. He's allowed 10 goals on 112 shots through four appearances. Scott Wedgewood has been too good to get pushed into the backup role, but Blackwood now has some momentum to reclaim a larger share of starts. Expect Wedgewood to start in Chicago on Sunday, with his performance in that game potentially dictating the short-term work distribution for the week ahead.
