Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Gets no help in Winnipeg
Blackwood stopped 26 of 28 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Jets, with Winnipeg's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
Winnipeg got a puck past him in each of the first two periods, with Blackwood having little chance at either, and the Avs were never able to solve Connor Hellebuyck in the other crease. It's Blackwood's first regulation loss since Dec. 16, and since making his debut with Colorado, the 28-year-old netminder has gone 8-2-1 in 11 outings with an outstanding 1.66 GAA and .939 save percentage.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Set to start Saturday
Blackwood will defend the road net against the Jets on Saturday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Blackwood is coming off a 24-save performance in Thursday's 6-1 win over Minnesota. He has posted a record of 8-1-1 with a 1.61 GAA and a .940 save percentage in 10 appearances with Colorado since being acquired from San Jose on Dec. 9. Winnipeg ranks third in the league with 3.56 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 2-1 in overtime to the Kings on Friday.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Plenty of support in win
Blackwood stopped 24 of 25 shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Wild.
Blackwood picked up his second win in a row and his seventh victory in his last eight starts. This was the fifth time in that span he allowed exactly one goal, and he hasn't allowed more than two in 10 straight outings. Blackwood is now at 14-10-4 with a 2.00 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 29 appearances. He'll likely start again Saturday in a tough matchup versus the Jets, which will be the second half of a back-to-back for Winnipeg.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Expected starter for Thursday
Blackwood is set to start on the road against Minnesota on Thursday, per Brennan Vogt of Mile High Hockey on Wednesday.
Trent Miner will play between the pipes in Wednesday's road tilt against Chicago, which is what's freeing Blackwood up to face the tougher 26-11-4 Wild. The 28-year-old Blackwood has been phenomenal since being acquired from San Jose by Colorado, posting a 7-1-1 record, 1.69 GAA and .938 save percentage across his past nine outings. Blackwood hasn't allowed three or more goals in a single game since Dec. 7, when he was still a member of the Sharks -- and even then, it was hardly his fault given that San Jose allowed a staggering 54 shots to head Blackwood's way in that 3-1 loss to Florida. Colorado typically doesn't ask nearly as much of the goaltender, and while the Wild are a fantastic team overall, their offense is merely average -- Minnesota is tied for 14th in goals per game with 3.05.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Sharp in Monday's win
Blackwood turned aside 26 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
The 28-year-old netminder continues to thrive since joining the Avs about a month ago. Blackwood hasn't taken a regulation loss in seven straight outings, going 6-0-1 with an eye-popping 1.58 GAA and .939 save percentage. With Scott Wedgewood (lower body) on the shelf, Blackwood should continue to see a heavy workload for Colorado.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: In goal against Cats
Blackwood will get the starting nod at home versus Florida on Monday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Blackwood is undefeated in regulation over his last six contests, posting a 5-0-1 record, 1.68 GAA and .934 save percentage. It took the 28-year-old netminder just eight games with the Avalanche to match his win total (six) from his 19 outings with the Sharks this year. Fortunately for Colorado, Blackwood seems to be thriving, as the club is currently without backup Scott Wedgewood (lower body) and may have to rely even more heavily on Blackwood.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Suffers shootout loss
Blackwood allowed one goal on 23 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to Montreal.
Blackwood saw an end to a four-start winning streak. He held the Avalanche's 1-0 lead for 44 minutes before the Canadiens got to him for the game-tying goal late in the third period. Montreal then beat him twice in the shootout. With Scott Wedgewood (lower body) placed on injured reserve Saturday, Blackwood is expected to see a lot of action going forward. He carries a 1.78 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage over eight outings with Colorado heading into Monday's home game against Florida.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Starting against Canadiens
Blackwood will protect the home goal versus the Canadiens on Saturday.
Blackwood has won his last five outings, with the most recent one being a relief appearance against the Sabres on Thursday. The 28-year-old will be back between the pipes as a starter Saturday, and he could see a heavy workload as long as Scott Wedgewood (lower body) is out.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Gives up one goal in relief
Blackwood stopped two of three shots and earned the win in relief during Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.
Blackwood stepped onto the ice in the third period after Scott Wedgewood departed the contest with an apparent lower-body injury following a collision in the third period. He couldn't keep a shutout, but at least he was solid enough to see the Avs completing a late comeback. Blackwood should return to his regular starting role against the Canadiens on Saturday.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Holds firm for fourth straight win
Blackwood stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets.
The Avalanche have won five straight games, and Blackwood is responsible for four of them. He was able to hold firm in the third period, allowing Colorado to build its lead with a three-goal frame. Blackwood now has an 11-10-3 record with a 2.71 GAA and a .917 save percentage over 25 appearances between the Avalanche and the Stars. He's won five of his six outings with Colorado, allowing just 11 goals, so he's proving his worth behind a stronger defense. The Avalanche continue their homestand Thursday against the Sabres.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Draws start against Winnipeg
Blackwood will start Tuesday's home game against the Jets, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Blackwood has been productive recently, going 4-1-0 with a 1.82 GAA and a .940 save percentage over his last five starts. Despite his recent hot streak, he'll face a tough test Tuesday, as the Jets rank second in the NHL with 3.68 goals per game to begin the season.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Stands tall in win
Blackwood stopped 34 of 35 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over Utah.
Blackwood picked up his fourth win in five starts since being acquired by Colorado from San Jose, and he also has a stellar 1.82 GAA and .940 save percentage in that span. The 28-year-old was able to limit the damage to a tipped-in Nick Schmaltz power-play goal in the third period. Blackwood improved to 10-10-3 with a 2.75 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 24 appearances this season. He signed a five-year contract at a $5.25 million cap hit earlier Friday, so he appears to be the goalie of the present and near future for the Avalanche. He should be an excellent fantasy netminder for the rest of the campaign.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Collects win Sunday
Blackwood stopped 17 of 19 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.
The Kraken didn't have a lot in the tank, playing the second half of a back-to-back after losing 6-2 in Vegas on Saturday. They still cashed in a couple of times, but Blackwood did just enough to earn his third win in four starts since he was dealt to the Avalanche from the Sharks. The 28-year-old is now 9-10-3 with a 2.83 GAA and a .914 save percentage though 23 appearances. The Avalanche resume their schedule after the holiday break with a road game in Utah on Friday.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Sharp in win against former team
Blackwood stopped 32 of 34 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
Blackwood's third start with the Avalanche came against the team that traded him away earlier in the month. The Sharks led 2-1 after two periods, but the Avalanche rallied to support their goalie, who had another strong showing between the pipes. Blackwood has allowed exactly two goals in each of his three starts with his new team, going 2-1-0. For the year, he's 8-10-3 with a 2.87 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 22 contests. It'll likely be Scott Wedgewood in goal for Friday's game versus the Ducks.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Facing Sharks
Blackwood will protect the visiting crease versus San Jose on Thursday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Blackwood was dealt from San Jose to Colorado just 10 days ago, and this will be the first time he has faced his ex-teammates. Blackwood started the season with a 6-9-3 record with the Sharks, along with a 3.00 GAA and a .909 save percentage. He is 1-1-0 with the Avalanche, allowing only four goals on 63 shots (.937 save percentage). The Sharks are averaging 2.76 goals per game this season which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Makes 22 saves Monday
Blackwood stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks. The third goal was an empty-netter with 2:35 left in the third period.
The Avs couldn't find a way to stop Kiefer Sherwood, who beat Blackwood in each of the first and second periods -- the 29-year-old forward also accounted for the empty-net marker in the third frame -- to hand the netminder his second defeat over his last three outings. The 28-year-old goaltender has made five appearances this month, going 2-2-0 with a 2.40 GAA and a .935 save percentage. Despite the loss Monday, he's been performing well enough to remain a valuable fantasy option when he's protecting the Avs' crease.

Blackwood stopped 37 shots in a 5-2 win over Nashville on Saturday during his Colorado debut. He posted a 6-9-3 record with a 3.00 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 19 appearances with San Jose before the trade, and his numbers should continue to improve as he plays more games for the Avalanche.
