SCOTT WEDGEWOOD NEWS

Back at morning skate Wedgewood (illness) was on the ice for Monday's morning skate, Saad Yousuf of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, Wedgewood appears to be available to dress in Game 1 against Minnesota on Monday. He was absent from Sunday's practice because of an illness. Wedgewood is slated to be Jake Oettinger's backup for Dallas' playoff opener Monday.

Misses practice Wedgewood (illness) was not available for Sunday's practice, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Despite missing practice, the 30-year-old is expected to be available Monday against Minnesota and will likely serve as Jake Oettinger's backup. Wedgewood went 9-8-3 with a 2.72 GA and .915 save percentage during the regular season.

Stars take Central Division lead with 5-2 victory over Blues

Wyatt Johnston scored twice, Tyler Seguin had a goal and an assist and the Dallas Stars beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Wednesday night to take the Central Division lead

Stops 16 in win Wedgewood made 16 saves in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Wedgewood gave up two goals in the first period, then settled down as the Stars limited the chances against him. The 30-year-old netminder shouldn't expect to see the ice much the rest of the way. Jake Oettinger will likely start Thursday's season finale with seeding still at stake, and the Stars plan to ride Oettinger throughout the playoffs. Unless Wedgewood makes an appearance Thursday, he'll finish the season 9-8-3 with a 2.72 GAA and .915 save percentage.

Gets starting nod Wednesday Wedgewood will tend the twine on the road against the Blues on Wednesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Wedgewood has played in just two games in the Stars' last 23 contests, making just one start in which he made 26 saves in a winning effort. With the club ending the season with a back-to-back, Wedgewood will take the first game which means Jake Oettinger figures to start the season finale versus St. Louis on Thursday. In the postseason, Wedgewood is unlikely to see much, if any, minutes while Oettinger takes the bulk of the workload.

Sees work in relief Monday Wedgewood stopped all seven shots he faced after replacing Jake Oettinger to begin the third period of Monday's 6-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact There's no injury concern with Oettinger -- the Stars simply had a commanding lead and elected to give their No. 1 netminder a bit of extra rest ahead of the playoffs. Wedgewood has a 2.76 GAA and .916 save percentage on the season, and while the 30-year-old has seen action in only two games so far in April, he could get one more start as Dallas closes out their schedule with a home-and-home series against St. Louis on Wednesday and Thursday.

Stars win, Robertson gets 1st 100-point season in Dallas

Wins in return Wedgewood stopped 26 of 27 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Wedgewood had been out for about six weeks due to a lower-body injury. He helped AHL Texas clinch a playoff spot over the weekend and did the same for the big club with Monday's impressive win, which saw him keep the Predators off the board deep into the third period. Wedgewood is up to 8-8-3 with a 2.81 GAA and a .915 save percentage through 19 games. He's been a capable backup this season, but he's unlikely to see much more than one or two games the rest of the way, as Jake Oettinger will continue to start the majority of the time.

Leaves ice first Wedgewood was the first goalie to exit the ice Monday, Bruce LeVine of Dallas Hockey Now reports, indicating he'll be between the home pipes against Nashville.

Impact Wedgewood -- who was recently with AHL Texas on a conditioning assignment -- will be making his first NHL start since Feb. 128 versus Columbus. In his last five appearances for Dallas, the veteran netminder's only win was a 34-save shutout against the Kings, posting an overall 1-4-0 record and .920 save percentage. The Stars have just one back-to-back remaining on the schedule, which may be the last we see of Wedgewood this season with Jake Oettinger the No. 1 the rest of the way.

APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back from conditioning loan Wedgewood (lower body) was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Texas on Sunday.

Impact Wedgewood stopped 24 of 26 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss against San Jose on March 31 during his brief time in the minors. Dallas loaned Matt Murray to AHL Texas in a corresponding move, so it appears as though Wedgewood will be available to return to the lineup Monday against Nashville.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On conditioning stint Wedgewood (lower body) has been sent to AHL Texas on a conditioning stint Thursday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Impact Wedgewood will get in some much needed playing time as he has missed the last 17 games with the injury. He is 7-8-3 with a 2.91 GAA and .913 save percentage. Wedgewood will be recalled next week.

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still not ready to play Wedgewood (lower body) will not dress against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Wedgewood will be out of action for his 17th consecutive contest due to his lower-body injury. Even once given the all-clear, the 30-year-old backstop figures to be relegated to the No. 2 role, though it's possible Wedgewood could see a few extra starts down the stretch to give Jake Oettinger a break before the postseason.

Blackhawks take losing streak into home matchup against the Stars

The Chicago Blackhawks will try to end a five-game slide when they play the Dallas Stars

MARCH 27, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Traveling with team Wedgewood (lower body) will join the Stars for their road clash with Chicago on Tuesday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Impact Wedgewood hasn't played in an NHL game since Feb. 18 against Columbus, a stretch of 16 contests on the shelf. Even when healthy, the veteran netminder has played in a mere 18 games this year, posting a 7-8-3 record with a 2.91 GAA and one shutout. Even if Wedgewood suits up versus the Blackhawks, it will likely be in a backup role behind Jake Oettinger.

MARCH 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Wedgewood (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Penguins, per the NHL media site.

Impact Wedgewood has been skating again for over a week, but he remains unable to serve as backup. His next chance to participate is Saturday versus the Canucks.

Not ready to return Thursday Wedgewood (lower body) isn't available for Thursday's game against Edmonton, per the NHL media site.

Impact Wedgewood was last in net Feb. 18. He has a 7-8-3 record, 2.91 GAA and .913 save percentage in 18 contests this season. With Wedgewood still out, Matt Murray will serve as Jake Oettinger's understudy versus the Oilers.

Skates, but not ready to play Wedgewood (lower body) skated Tuesday in Vancouver, but he won't suit up versus the Canucks, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Wedgewood is getting closer to a return since he's gotten back on the ice. It's unclear if he'll be ready for Thursday's game in Edmonton or Saturday's game versus the Flames, but he'd likely only serve as the backup for either of those contests with Jake Oettinger holding down a starting role.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out against Kraken Wedgewood (lower body) will not be in the lineup versus Seattle on Monday, per NHL.com.

Impact Wedgewood went 1-4-0 with a 2.65 GAA in his previous five outings and likely wouldn't have seen too many starts even if fit. In the meantime, Matt Murray will serve as the backup to Jake Oettinger. Once healthy, Wedgewood should reclaim his place as the No. 2 option. With a back-to-back on the schedule, it seems unlikely Wedgewood will return in time for Tuesday's clash with Vancouver either.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Saturday Wedgewood (lower body) isn't expected to return Saturday versus Seattle, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Impact Wedgewood skated Saturday, so he's making progress. He has a 7-8-3 record, 2.91 GAA and .913 save percentage in 18 games this season. Wedgewood was last in net Feb. 18. Jake Oettinger is set to start Saturday while Matt Murray will serve as the backup.

MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Thursday Wedgewood (lower body) isn't ready to return for Thursday's game versus Buffalo, per the NHL media site.

Impact Wedgewood was last in net Feb. 18 against Columbus. He has a 7-8-3 record, 2.91 GAA and .913 save percentage in 18 contests this season. Jake Oettinger is slated to start Thursday while Matt Murray will serve as the backup.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined against Flames Wedgewood (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Monday's matchup with Calgary, Stars play-by-play announcer Owen Newkirk reports.

Impact Wedgewood last played for the Stars back on Feb 18 versus Columbus and won't see much in the way of minutes even once given the all-clear, as he figures to remain the No. 2 option behind Jake Oettinger. In the meantime, Matt Murray will serve as the backup to Oettinger.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Thursday Wedgewood (lower body) won't play Thursday against Chicago, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Impact Wedgewood hasn't been in net for Dallas since Feb. 18. He's 7-8-3 with a 2.91 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 18 games this season. Jake Oettinger started Wednesday against Arizona, so with Wedgewood still unavailable, Matt Murray is set to make his NHL debut Thursday.

Impact With Wedgewood on the shelf, Jake Oettinger will start against the Blackhawks with Matt Murray serving as his backup. Wedgewood will be reevaluated ahead of Saturday's game versus Vegas.
