SCOTT WEDGEWOOD NEWS

Suffers undisclosed injury Saturday Wedgewood sustained an undisclosed injury during Saturday's game against Chicago and exited the contest as a result, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Wedgewood saved 14 shots in 28:49 of ice time before leaving the match. Neither team had scored a goal before Jake Oettinger took his place in net. Wedgewood entered Saturday's action with a 12-4-3 record, 3.11 GAA and .895 save percentage in 19 outings this season. If he's not an option Tuesday versus LA, then Dallas might summon Matt Murray from AHL Texas.

Set to face Blackhawks Wedgewood is expected to start against the Blackhawks on Saturday, according to Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

Impact Wedgewood has a 12-4-3 record, 3.11 GAA and .895 save percentage in 19 outings in 2023-24. He saved 21 of 23 shots in a 7-2 victory over Minnesota in his last start Wednesday. The Blackhawks rank 31st offensively this year with 2.29 goals per game and are playing without Connor Bedard (jaw), so this is an extremely favorable matchup for Wedgewood.

Cruises to 12th win Wedgewood stopped 21 shots in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Wild.

Impact The 31-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period in a game Dallas dominated from the opening faceoff. Wedgewood has won seven of 12 starts since Jake Oettinger (lower body) went down, but his 3.03 GAA over that stretch indicates how much of that success he owes to his offense. On the season, Wedgewood sports a 12-4-3 record with a 3.11 GAA and .895 save percentage, and with Oettinger closing in on his return, he should soon return to his backup role.

In goal against Wild Wedgewood will get the starting nod at home versus Minnesota on Wednesday, Stars' Radio Host Owen Newkirk reports.

Impact Wedgewood made 11 straight starts before backup Matt Murray got the nod against Minnesota on Tuesday but will now be back in the crease. Over that stretch, Wedgewood went 6-3-2 with a 3.11 GAA, including giving up four or more goals in five contests. With Jake Oettinger (lower body) yet to resume practicing with the team, Wedgewood should continue to see a heavy dose of the workload.

Gives up four goals Wedgewood allowed four goals on 22 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

Impact The Stars clawed back from a two-goal deficit, but Wedgewood gave up a pair of tallies to Filip Forsberg in the third period. The increased workload lately has caught up with Wedgewood -- he has allowed at least four goals in four of his last five games despite facing more than 30 shots in just one of them. The 31-year-old dropped to 11-4-3 with a 3.17 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 18 games. With Jake Oettinger (lower body) reportedly closer to day-to-day, Wedgewood's run as the primary starter for Dallas is likely soon to end. The Stars play four games next week, so fantasy managers in weekly formats may want to hang onto Wedgewood for a bit longer.

Starting again Saturday Wedgewood will guard the home net Saturday against the Predators, Stars' radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact It'll be the 11th straight start for Wedgewood with Jake Oettinger (lower body) still unavailable. The 31-year-old netminder has dropped his last two outings, allowing nine goals on 52 shots in that span. Overall, Wedgewood is 11-3-3 with an .897 save percentage and 3.11 GAA this year. He'll face a Nashville team that's averaging 3.08 goals per game.

Tough loss in overtime Wedgewood made 29 saves in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche on Thursday.

Impact Wedgewood has filled in admirably for the injured Jake Oettinger (lower body), who has been upgraded to day-to-day and is closing in on a return. Wedgewood is 5-2-2 in nine games with Oettinger out, but he's allowed four or more goals in four of those nine. And nine goals in his last two games, both losses. Wedgewood may be tiring, so use caution if you put him in your paint. As always, lower-rated offenses make for better outcomes.

He struggled in his last start, allowing four goals on 18 shots in a 4-3 loss to Montreal on Tuesday.

Impact Wedgewood was sharp in his last start Sunday against the Blackhawks, stopping 23 of 24 shots en route to a comfortable 8-1 victory. He'll try to extend his personal winning streak to three games in a home matchup with a slumping Canadiens squad that's lost three straight games.

Cruises to win Wedgewood stopped 23 of 24 shots in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Blackhawks.

He also received plenty of support from the Stars' offense to cruise to the win, which put him at 11-2-2 on the year. Despite the strong record, he carries a middling 2.92 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 15 appearances. The Stars remain at home for the next week, and they'll host the Canadiens on Tuesday in their next game.

While it wasn't his sharpest outing, Wedgewood has now won four of his last five outings as he improves to 10-2-2 with a .902 save percentage and 3.06 GAA on the season.
