Mackenzie Blackwood Expected to Start Monday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood is poised to make his first start of the 2026 postseason in Game 4 against the Minnesota Wild on Monday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. He worked in the starter's crease during the morning skate and was the first goalie to leave the ice. Colorado has so far trusted Scott Wedgewood in the postseason, but he struggled in Game 3 against Minnesota, opening the door for Blackwood to claim the starting job. In a relief effort on Saturday, Blackwood looked sharp, stopping 12 of 13 pucks. He faced the Wild twice during the regular season, posting a 1-1-0 record, a 2.05 goals-against average, and a .937 save percentage.

Blackwood has been productive when healthy this season, with a record of 16-5-1 to go along with a 2.25 goals-against average, three shutouts, and a .916 save percentage through 23 appearances for the league-leading Avalanche.

Mackenzie Blackwood Activated From Injured Reserve

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) was activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, the team reassigned Trent Miner to the AHL. Blackwood has been unavailable for six games due to a lower-body injury. He will be an option to return to the crease on Friday versus the Nashville Predators. Blackwood leads all goalies with a 2.07 goals-against average and is tied for first with a .924 save percentage. He has a 13-1-1 record. The New York Islanders and San Jose Sharks are the only teams to beat Blackwood this season.

Mackenzie Blackwood Placed on Injured Reserve

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) was placed on Injured Reserve, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports. Blackwood will be re-evaluated after the team's upcoming three-game road trip, which begins on Saturday with a clash against the Carolina Hurricanes. Colorado has recalled Trent Miner from the AHL to fill Blackwood's spot on the roster. Blackwood has been extraordinary for the Avalanche this season, posting a 13-1-1 record with a league-best 2.07 goals-against average. He is ranked second in the NHL with a save percentage of .924 and has notched two shutouts. While Miner could see action during this weekend's back-to-back, Scott Wedgewood is expected to get the bulk of the work until Blackwood returns.

Mackenzie Blackwood Posts 35-Save Shutout

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood recorded his first shutout of the season in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators, finishing the game with 35 saves. After Brent Bruns scored just 15 seconds into the game, Blackwood kept Colorado ahead until the team wrapped up the win with two empty-net goals. Blackwood recorded his third consecutive victory, improving to 3-0-1 for the season. He has a 2.47 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage. Due to offseason lower-body surgery, we haven't seen much of Blackwood in 2025-26. But he is starting to get regular action, providing competition for Scott Wedgewood, who is set to start in Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Mackenzie Blackwood Set for Season Debut Saturday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood is expected to make his first appearance of the 2025-26 campaign in Saturday's meeting with the San Jose Sharks. After missing time because of a lower-body injury, Blackwood returned to the lineup this week, serving as a backup to Scott Wedgewood in a pair of games. Blackwood started last season with the Sharks and won both games against them after he was traded to the Avalanche. Overall, he produced a 22-12-3 record with his new squad, allowing 2.33 goals with a .913 save percentage and three shutouts. San Jose has gone 3-6-2 this season but averages 3.36 goals per game, so this may not be a walk in the park for Blackwood on Saturday.

Mackenzie Blackwood Back at Practice

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) practiced on Friday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports. This is a sign that Blackwood is nearing his return, although Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said the team isn't sure whether Blackwood will travel during an upcoming two-game road trip. Blackwood is set to miss a third straight game on Saturday when Colorado faces the Dallas Stars. While his absence is a blow for the team, Scott Wedgewood has been in impressive form at the start of the campaign. The 33-year-old has gone 2-0-0 so far, allowing just one goal in each outing and producing a .966 save percentage.

Mackenzie Blackwood Unavailable Tuesday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) has not traveled with the team ahead of Tuesday's season opener against the Los Angeles Kings, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports. Blackwood arrived at training camp with a lower-body issue and hasn't recovered from the injury quickly enough to be available for the season opener. In total, the Avalanche have three games scheduled for the first week of action, playing the Utah Mammoth and Dallas Stars at home. Scott Wedgewood is set to fill in for Blackwood at the start of the campaign. He looks like a good short-term pickup for fantasy managers, having produced a 13-4-1 record in Denver last season.

Mackenzie Blackwood Questionable for Start of Season

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) might miss the start of the season. According to Evan Rawal of The Denver Gazette, Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said Blackwood is making progress in his recovery from a lower-body injury, but the team isn't sure if he'll be ready for opening night. Blackwood's injury is a blow for the Avalanche, but they have a quality backup in Scott Wedgewood. The well-traveled veteran posted a 13-4-1 record in Denver last season, allowing 1.99 goals and notching two shutouts with a .917 save percentage. Trent Miner is another option between the sticks for Colorado if Blackwood isn't available at the beginning of the campaign.

Mackenzie Blackwood Out Week-to-Week

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) has been labeled as week-to-week by head coach Jared Bednar. "Things seem to be going good," Bednar said Wednesday. "Week-to-week I would say right now, but he's going to be limited and missing some time in camp as well. We're hoping he's ready to go for the start of the season; if not right at the start, then maybe the first week or two." Blackwood's injury means that we will likely see a lot of Scott Wedgewood in exhibition games. Nonetheless, Bednar seems confident that his No. 1 won't miss much time at the start of the regular season, if any. Blackwood had a superb start to his Avalanche career last season, going 22-12-3 in 37 appearances. He posted three shutouts and had a 2.33 goals-against average with a .913 save percentage.

Mackenzie Blackwood Dealing With Injury Ahead of Training Camp

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood (undisclosed) is dealing with an injury before training camp. According to Avalanche beat reporter Brennan Vogt, Blackwood hasn't skated with the team all week and isn't taking any shots. After arriving from San Jose, Blackwood impressed last term with his rock-solid play in the Avalanche crease, and missing him at the start of the season due to injury would be a big loss for the team. Blackwood went 22-12-2 in Colorado during the 2024-25 campaign, notching three shutouts and posting a 2.33 goals-against average with a .913 save percentage. His absence would open up more playing opportunities for Scott Wedgewood.

Mackenzie Blackwood Seeks To Overcome Road Struggles In Game 7

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will start Saturday's Game 7 against the Dallas Stars, needing to deliver a road win for the team to extend its season. Blackwood opened the first-round series with a 5-1 win in Dallas, but he has since struggled on the road, allowing nine goals over two games. Dating back to the regular season, Blackwood has celebrated victory in only two of his last 10 road starts. It's a tough task to take down the Stars in Texas, but the Avalanche will carry some momentum following their Game 6 victory. Blackwood, who stopped 22 of 24 shots in Thursday's 7-4 win, has allowed 2.65 goals in the series with a .899 save percentage.

After four games in the series, Blackwood boasts a 1.60 goals-against average and a .939 save percentage.

Mackenzie Blackwood Expected To Face Maple Leafs

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood is expected to be in the crease for Wednesday's big clash against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Scott Wedgewood has impressed with four consecutive wins, but the Avalanche go back to Blackwood on Wednesday, who had his own four-game winning run end with a 2-1 shootout defeat against the Minnesota Wild a week ago. This was only his third loss since the start of February. Blackwood has had a great time with the Avalanche, posting an 18-7-3 record with two shutouts. He holds a .919 save percentage and has allowed 2.17 goals. Beating the Maple Leafs at their places is never easy, but the bookmakers expect Blackwood to collect the victory on Wednesday, listing Colorado as a -133 favorite.

Mackenzie Blackwood Battling Illness, Not Starting On Friday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood (illness) is battling an illness and will not start on Friday evening when the Avalanche face the Calgary Flames.

Wedgewood enters Friday's game with a two-game win streak. Over his last three, he has held a stellar 1.01 GAA with a .957 save percentage and should be viewed as a top play in DFS competitions.

Mackenzie Blackwood Facing Former Team On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will take the starter's crease on Thursday evening against his former club, the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks traded Blackwood earlier this season and the 28-year-old has been one of the best netminders in the sport since moving to Colorado. He is currently riding a two-game winning streak into Thursday's tilt. Over his past eight games, the 28-year-old has held a stellar 6-2 record with a 1.77 GAA and a .929 save percentage. During this span, he posted two shutouts and only allowed more than two goals in two of these starts. Through 44 total games, Blackwood has held a 22-16-5 record with a .916 save percentage with a 2.49 GAA. Fantasy managers should view Blackwood as a must-start goaltender moving forward and a top option in DFS facing the San Jose Sharks.
