Mackenzie Blackwood Placed On Injured Reserve

The San Jose Sharks have placed goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old stopped 13 shots before leaving late in the first period of a 7-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. Blackwood began his career with the Devils and enjoyed two productive seasons with them before struggling in each of his last four campaigns. This season, he owns a 3.48 goals-against average and an .899 save percentage across 35 games for San Jose, going just 9-18-3 in that time. The Sharks currently sit second-last in the NHL with a 15-37-5 record, tied with the Chicago Blackhawks in points but leading in points percentage. Their -102 goal differential is by far the worst mark in the league.

Mackenzie Blackwood Looks For Third Consecutive Win Tuesday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will make his 29th start of the season Tuesday against Seattle. After beating Anaheim and the Rangers in his most recent appearances, the 27-year-old aims to produce his first three-game winning streak of the season. Blackwood has a 7-17-3 record for the campaign and boasts a 3.63 goals-against average with a .896 save percentage. San Jose tends to struggle most nights, but a matchup against a team ranked only 27th in goals averaged could give Blackwood and the Sharks some joy on Tuesday.

Mackenzie Blackwood Traded to San Jose

The New Jersey Devils traded goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood to San Jose in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick Tuesday. Blackwood had a solid start to his career, compiling a 32-24-8 record with a 2.72 goals-against-average and .916 save percentage across his first two seasons. However, he faced some challenges in the past three years, recording a 33-33-10 record with a 3.19 goals-against-average and an .897 save percentage. As a result, the 26-year-old fell behind netminders Vitek Vanecek and Akira Schmid on the Devils depth chart. Joining San Jose, Blackwood is expected to share playing time with Kaapo Kahkonen.

Mackenzie Blackwood Unavailable For Thursday's Game

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood won't dress for Thursday's matchup against the Blues after taking a shot off the hand during Wednesday's morning skate in Detroit. He's been held out of action as a precaution, so it's possible that Blackwood will be back in action by the weekend. Akira Schmid has been summed from the minors to fill in for Blackwood, although it's currently unclear if it's going to be him or Vitek Vanecek facing St. Louis. The latter would be playing for a second night in a row after beating the Red Wings 5-1 with 32 saves on Wednesday.

MacKenzie Blackwood Diagnosed With An MCL Sprain

New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood (knee) has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain and is now scheduled to meet with doctors on Tuesday to determine how to proceed with his recovery. Blackwood was hurt last week in a game against Edmonton. He looks set to miss multiple weeks, and we could even be talking about months. Blackwood's recovery time will depend on the severity of the sprain. Vitek Vanecek instantly becomes a must-own goalie. The Devils have looked great early in the season, and Vanecek has already picked up some very good momentum with a 5-1-0 record.

MacKenzie Blackwood Gets Hurt In Thursday's Win

New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood sustained an undisclosed injury Thursday night versus Edmonton. He appeared to have tweaked something in the second period when he slid across the crease to make a save. His night ended with 16 saves from 18 shots faced. Vitek Vanecek came in to replace Blackwood and witnessed an early Christmas miracle as New Jersey turned a 3-2 loss into a 4-3 win late in the third period with goals inside seven seconds. The Czech netminder pushed away 18 of 19 shots. Vanecek will obviously start getting all the burn if Blackwood is forced to miss time. He earned a fourth straight victory on Thursday and is now 4-1-0 for the season with a 2.06 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage.

MacKenzie Blackwood Ready If Needed

New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood (upper body) is available for Friday's clash with Colorado. His status was initially uncertain after Blackwood missed Thursday's practice. This is great news for the Devils, although Vitek Vanecek is still expected to get the start against the defending Stanley Cup champions. Both goalies have struggled at the start of the campaign, combining for a .859 save percentage, but the team has a winning record and that's the most important thing. Blackwood has gone 3-2-0 so far and Vanecek will be looking to improve a 1-1-0 record on Friday.

MacKenzie Blackwood Makes His 17th Start

New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood will make his 17th start of the season on Friday against Edmonton. He'll have a chance to start building a winning streak after taking down Buffalo 4-3 with 19 saves on Wednesday. Blackwood improved to 6-6-3 for the season earlier in the week, and he's registered a 3.13 goals-against average with a .900 save percentage and two shutouts. The Devils No. 1 hasn't recorded back-to-back wins since early November and keeping the Oilers quiet is always a tricky task, so fantasy managers should consider other goalie options on Friday.

MacKenzie Blackwood Returns From Injury

New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood will return from a neck injury on Wednesday against Buffalo, recording his 16th start of the campaign. The 25-year-old had a lot of success early in the season, but he's now carrying a 5-6-3 record with a 3.14 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. He's given up 12 goals in three games after posting his second shutout of the season against Philadelphia on Dec. 8. It's hard to rely on Blackwood to get the job done, but Wednesday's matchup is one of the easiest a goalie can get. The Sabres have notched just five wins since starting the season 5-1-1 and they are one of the lowest-scoring sides in the league with a 2.67 goals-for average.

MacKenzie Blackwood Out With A Neck Injury

New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood has picked up a neck injury and won't play in Saturday's matchup against Detroit. The Thunder Bay, Ontario native has been limited to only 15 starts this season and Blackwood's ride has been rocky with a 5-6-3 record. Four of the wins came with his first eight appearances. The 25-year-old has impressed with two shutouts, but his goals-against average still stands at a lowly 3.14 with a .902 save percentage. With Jonathan Bernier (hip) out as well, Jon Gillies is expected to start the match. New Jersey acquired the American earlier in the week from St. Louis. Gillies has already had quite a season, featuring in the ECHL, the AHL and also in the NHL for the Blues. He suffered a 3-2 overtime loss against Anaheim on Dec. 12. Gillies owns a 4-5-2 career record in the NHL.

Mackenzie Blackwood Collects Shutout Wednesday

New Jersey Devils goalie Mackenzie Blackwood picked up his second shutout in 2021, blanking Philadelphia 3-0 Wednesday. Blackwood has yet to lose to the Flyers in his career, knocking them off ten consecutive times in regulation. This year, he's posted a 5-3-3 record, a 2.81 goals-against-average, and a .913 save percentage. This victory was his first win in his last five starts. The Devils sit in sixth in the Metropolitan division. They will need the Thunder Bay, Ontario native, to play like he did Wednesday for them to climb up the standings.

Mackenzie Blackwood Looks To End Losing Run Against Philly

New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood will record his 12th start of the campaign on Wednesday against Philadelphia, trying to put a stop to a three-game losing streak. Blackwood's last win came against the Flyers on Nov. 28. He's carrying a 4-3-3 record with a 3.07 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. The Devils No. 1 will go head-to-head against Carter Hart, who sits on a five-game losing streak, so at least one of the guys will get to taste a victory again. Blackwood should be the favorite, with Philly dropping nine games in a row and looking very poor in general.

Mackenzie Blackwood Wins Fourth Game Of The Season

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood saw 25 shots on Sunday night and stopped 23 en route to his fourth win of the season. Typically, the goaltender had seen 35+ shots in every home start. That was not the case. He did give up what would have normally been a dagger of a short-handed goal by Scott Laughton. Instead, New Jersey rallied scoring three goals in the final 8+ minutes of the game for a 5-2 win. The Devils will next play on Tuesday night at home versus the San Jose Sharks.

Mackenzie Blackwood Back In Net For New Jersey Sunday

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will start in goal at home against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. Blackwood has had a nutty last five starts from the highs of a 42-save shutout to the lows of getting his bell rung at Madison Square Garden. It has been an interesting ride. Blackwood is 3-1-2 on the season while posting a .922 save percentage so far this season. The goalie has stopped 102 of 107 shots at home while going 2-0-1 in three decisions. Expect Blackwood to face a lot of rubber and that suits him better than most goaltenders. Philadelphia should be able to get 30-35+ shots on goal Sunday.

Mackenzie Blackwood Weathers Storm, Stops 31 in Win

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood had quite the eventful afternoon and evening in Tampa Bay. He faced 34 shots and stopped 31 of them. However, it was two of those shots that may get talked about for some time. First, he stopped a 2-on-0 breakaway. That was impressive enough. Then, he denied a penalty shot for good measure. That helped cement New Jersey's third period comeback on Saturday night. It also gave Blackwood his third win of the season.

Mackenzie Blackwood Goes For Another Win Over Islanders

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will get his 35th start of the year in Saturday's clash with the Islanders. It will be his second game of the week in the matchup after the 24-year-old picked up a 2-1 victory with 32 saves on Thursday. Blackwood notched his fifth consecutive win with the outstanding display. He has improved his record for the season to 14-16-4, and now boasts a 2.98 goals-against average with a .904 save percentage and one shutout. The Isles have picked up only two wins in eight games, so they seem to be there for the taking again for Blackwood on Saturday.

Mackenzie Blackwood Leads New Jersey To Victory

New Jersey Devils goalie Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 32 shots to help his team defeat the New York Islanders 2-1 on Thursday. Blackwood is 1-2-0 in three starts against New York in 2021. The Thunder Bay Ontario native has been on fire, winning his last five outings after losing his previous 10. The Devils have just two contests remaining, having to play the Islanders again and Philadelphia. The New Jersey netminder has had some success against Philadelphia, sporting a record of 4-0-1.

Mackenzie Blackwood Looks To Extend Winning Streak

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will be hunting for his fifth consecutive victory in Thursday's road outing versus the Islanders. The 24-year-old was in an awful slump before beating Philadelphia 6-4 last Tuesday, and he hasn't looked back ever since, beating the Flyers two more times before taking down Boston with 33 saves a couple of nights ago. Blackwood is 13-16-4 for the season with a 3.04 goals-against average, a .902 save percentage and one shutout. He hasn't won five starts in a row all year but seems to have a decent shot at achieving it here, with the Isles dropping five of their last seven games.

Mackenzie Blackwood In Goal Thursday For New Jersey

New Jersey Devils goalie Mackenzie Blackwood will appear in his 25th game of the season versus the New York Rangers on Thursday. Blackwood is 2-3-0 against the Rangers in 2021. For the year, the Thunder Bay, Ontario, native sports a record of 9-13-3, a 3.03 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. In his last start against the Rangers, Blackwood lost the decision, giving up two goals on 19 shots. In Thursday's contest, Blackwood might have some trouble playing on the road again while going against a Rangers team that is 5-3-2 in their last 10 contests.

Mackenzie Blackwood Looks To End Losing Run

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood is expected to start against Pittsburgh on Sunday. It will be his second consecutive start against the Penguins after he gave up five goals on 26 shots in Friday's 6-4 loss. Blackwood has allowed five goals in back-to-back appearances, and he sits on a four-game losing streak ahead of Sunday's action. He's won only nine of 23 starts this season with a 3.02 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage and one shutout. Blackwood has beaten the Penguins once this year, but it's very difficult to repeat the feat. Tristan Jarry gets the nod from Pittsburgh, entering the contest with a 16-8-2 record.
