Scott Wedgewood - NHL News & Rumors

Makes 30 saves in win Wedgewood stopped 30 of 32 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Wedgewood earned his fourth win in six outings with the Avalanche in this contest. He limited the damage to goals by Leo Carlsson and Alex Killorn, helping the Avalanche sweep a back-to-back set. Wedgewood improved to 5-4-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 11 appearances between Colorado and Nashville this season. He's settled in nicely to the backup role with his new team, and he's a strong fantasy play whenever he starts. Mackenzie Blackwood will likely get the nod versus the Kraken on Sunday.

Starting in Anaheim Wedgewood will start Friday's road game versus Anaheim, Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett reports.

Impact Wedgewood lost his last start, giving up three goals on 22 shots against Utah. The 32-year-old has won three of five outings with the Avalanche, including one shutout, and he's allowed just nine goals since he was traded from the Predators. Wedgewood has a favorable matchup Friday, though the Avalanche are playing the second half of a back-to-back.

Falls to Utah Wedgewood stopped 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Utah. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Avalanche didn't get on the board until Nathan MacKinnon scored with 4:34 left in the third period while Wedgewood was pulled for an extra attacked. Colorado's rally ended with a Kevin Stenlund empty-netter 23 seconds later. Wedgewood is now 3-2-0 with nine goals allowed over five appearances since he was traded from the Predators to the Avalanche. Overall, he's at a 4-4-1 record with a 2.77 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 10 games this season. Mackenzie Blackwood was healthy enough to back up Thursday, though the Avalanche have not yet named a starting goalie for Saturday's contest versus the Predators.

Guarding cage Thursday Wedgewood will patrol the home crease versus Utah on Thursday, Adrian Hernandez of Mile High Hockey reports.

Impact Wedgewood will make his third straight start as the Avalanche return home from a five-game road trip. Wedgewood has allowed only two goals on 52 shots in wins over Pittsburgh and New Jersey, raising his record to 4-3-1 across nine appearances this season. He will face Utah, who are averaging 2.96 goals per game in 2024-25.

Sharp in win Wedgewood made 24 saves in a 6-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Impact Wedgewood is now 3-1-0 in four starts with the Avs, and his 1.59 GAA and .944 save percentage make him look like a star. Unfortunately for him, Mackenzie Blackwood's arrival in a trade means Wedgewood will be a super-backup or caught in a three-headed goalie monster along with Alexandar Georgiev. Still, this team is powerful, so Wedgewood needs to be in your blue paint whenever he's in theirs.

Set to start Tuesday Wedgewood is slated to serve as the starting netminder for Tuesday's road game against the Penguins, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Impact Although the Avalanche traded for Mackenzie Blackwood on Monday, it isn't very surprising to see Wedgewood get the start Tuesday since Blackwood is feeling under the weather and won't join the team in Pittsburgh. Wedgewood has been productive over his first three appearances with Colorado, posting a 2-1-0 record, 1.44 GAA and .951 save percentage.

Posts 25-save shutout Wedgewood recorded a 25-save shutout in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Wedgewood made his third appearance and second start in four games since joining the Avalanche. This was a good one for the 32-year-old, as he was able to keep a potent offense at bay for his first shutout since the 2022-23 campaign. He's now 3-3-1 with a 2.82 GAA and a .906 save percentage over eight contests (six starts) between Colorado and Nashville this season. If Wedgewood finds any consistency between the pipes, he'll offer a challenge to Alexandar Georgiev's starting role.

Starting Sunday Wedgewood will patrol the visiting crease in New Jersey on Sunday, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

Impact The Avalanche will use Alexandar Georgiev in Detroit on Saturday, leaving Sunday's start to Wedgewood. Wedgewood has stopped 52 of 56 shots (.929 save percentage) in his two appearances with the Avalanche since his trade from Nashville seven days ago. The Devils are third in NHL scoring with 102 goals.

Takes loss in first start for Avs Wedgewood stopped 30 of 34 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes, with Carolina's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact Making his first start for Colorado since being acquired from Nashville at the end of November, Wedgewood failed to make a strong impression, although two of Carolina's tallies came on power plays and a third was tipped home by Eric Robinson on a point shot by Brent Burns. The door is open for Wedgewood to seize the No. 1 job for the Avalanche given Alexandar Georgiev's struggles this season, but he'll need to perform better to bump the incumbent starter aside. Through seven appearances this season between the Avs and the Preds, the 32-year-old netminder has a 3.28 GAA and .893 save percentage.

Between the pipes Thursday Wedgewood will get the road start in Carolina on Thursday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Wedgewood will make his second appearance, and first start, for the Avalanche since his trade from Nashville on Saturday. Wedgewood came on in relief of Alexandar Georgiev on Tuesday with the Avs trailing 4-0 in the first period and proceeded to stop all 22 shots, as Colorado back back to defeat Buffalo 5-4. Wedgewood has a serious opportunity to grab the top job from Georgiev and will get his first chance Thursday in Carolina. The Hurricanes are third in NHL scoring, averaging 3.72 goals.

Scott Wedgewood's whirlwind week leads to memorable first Avalanche win: "He closed the door" Not how he drew it up, but one he’ll remember for a long time.

DECEMBER 4 • DENVERPOST.COM

Picks up relief win in Avs debut Wedgewood stopped all 22 shots he faced after replacing Alexandar Georgiev midway through the first period Tuesday, recording the win in a 5-4 victory over the Sabres.

Impact The Avs dug a 4-0 hole for themselves before the 12-minute mark of the first frame, but switching goaltenders seemed to light a spark under the club and they rallied for a remarkable comeback win. It was Wedgewood's first appearance for Colorado since being traded west from Nashville, and the win was just his second of the season. The 32-year-old netminder has a mediocre 3.12 GAA and .895 save percentage in six outings, but Georgiev's recent struggles have likely opened the door for Wedgewood to at least move into a timeshare.
