Tough afternoon against Caps Blackwood made 14 saves in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
Impact The 24-year-old has been alternating strong performances with poor ones lately, giving up at least four goals in three of his last five starts but only two goals total in the other two. Blackwood fell under .500 (9-10-3) with Sunday's loss, and his 2.92 GAA and .909 save percentage on the season don't suggest his record is particularly unlucky.

Facing Capitals Blackwood will guard the home net in Sunday's game versus the Capitals, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Blackwood lost each of his last two starts in overtime despite posting a .932 save percentage. The 24-year-old has been a solid backstop this season, though, recording a .913 save percentage and a 9-9-3 record. He can steal a game at any point, so he carries high fantasy upside, though Washington's third-ranked offense (3.38 goals per game) provides ample risk.

Tough OT loss Friday Blackwood turned aside 38 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Impact The netminder did everything he could to keep New Jersey in the game, but he didn't get enough support to secure a win. Blackwood was partially screened on John Carlson's second-period tally, and he had no chance on Dmitry Orlov's winner, as the puck tipped off Yegor Sharagovich's stick before beating him top shelf. Blackwood is locked in right now and has only one regulation loss in his last seven starts, going 4-1-2 with a 2.23 GAA and .937 save percentage over that stretch.

Starting versus Capitals Blackwood led the Devils onto the ice, indicating he'll start Friday's home game versus the Capitals, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Blackwood posted a 4-5-1 record with a 3.17 GAA and a .903 save percentage across 10 games in March. He'll look to start off April a bit better against a Capitals team averaging 3.60 goals per game over their last 10 contests.

Blows third-period lead Blackwood stopped 44 of 48 shots through overtime in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Boston.
Impact Blackwood was handed a 4-2 lead heading into the third period of a game that featured little defense from either side, but he allowed a pair of goals in the final frame in regulation and was beaten on both of Boston's shootout attempts to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. He came into this contest with a 3-0-1 record, 1.20 GAA and .964 save percentage against Boston this season, which makes the third-period collapse all the more disappointing. Blackwood has the talent to steal wins for the Devils, but anything short of his top level usually results in a poor showing against the stiff competition in the East Division.

Facing Bruins again Blackwood will defend the road goal in Tuesday's game versus the Bruins, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Blackwood put together his first shutout of the season -- a 40-save effort -- in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Bruins. He'll look to replicate that performance Tuesday, though the matchup will get more challenging with Bruins winger Brad Marchand -- who has put up 34 points through 29 games -- returning from COVID-19 protocol.

Pitches first shutout of 2020-21 Blackwood turned aside 40 shots Sunday in a 1-0 win over Boston.
Impact Blackwood silenced a Boston squad that was without team scoring leader Brad Marchand, as well as fellow forwards Jake DeBrusk and Sean Kuraly, all of whom are in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. Despite those absences for the Bruins, Blackwood still had to handle his biggest workload since making 47 stops back on Jan. 19. The 24-year-old has won four of his last five starts heading into Tuesday's rematch with Boston.

Taking on Bruins Blackwood will defend the road goal in Sunday's game versus the Bruins, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Blackwood got roughed up in his last start, allowing four goals on 22 shots to the Capitals. However, a three-game win streak preceded that outing. Overall, he posted a .921 save percentage over the last four games. The Bruins have averaged just two goals per game in March, and they likely won't have Brad Marchand (COVID-19 protocol) available for Sunday's game.

Winning streak halted by Caps Blackwood stopped 18 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
Impact Blackwood came into this one riding a three-game winning streak, but he looked more like the goalie who had dropped six straight in regulation prior to that streak. New Jersey led 1-0 early in the first and 2-1 early in the second, but each of those leads was erased less than two minutes later. The same thing happened after the Devils tied it up at three apiece in the third, as Evgeny Kuznetsov promptly deposited his second goal of the night to restore Washington's lead and conclude the scoring.

Tending twine Thursday Blackwood will defend the cage on the road against Washington on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Blackwood will be looking to extend his three-game winning streak in which he posted a 1.97 GAA. In his previous two clashes with the Capitals this season, Blackwood conceded seven goals on 46 shots (.848 save percentage) in a pair of losing efforts. With Blackwood taking the first game of the back-to-back, Scott Wedgewood will likely get the nod versus Washington on Friday.

Wins third in a row Blackwood turned aside 30 off 33 shots in a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Tuesday.
Impact A pair of third-period goals by Sean Couturier took a little bit of shine off of his stat line, but Blackwood was solid once again while winning his third consecutive start. The 24-year-old has logged a .942 save percentage during that time, backstopping the Devils to a one-goal victory in all three outings. After a wobbly start to the month, Blackwood seems to have righted the ship.

Guarding net Tuesday Blackwood will defend the road goal in Tuesday's game versus the Flyers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Impact Blackwood went through a rough stretch at the end of February and the beginning of March, but he has seemingly gotten out of his funk. The 24-year-old has won back-to-back starts, recording a .958 save percentage in the process. The Flyers have won two of their last seven games, posting 17 total goals in that stretch.
