Three saves in clean sheet Blake kept a clean sheet while making three saves during Saturday's 1-0 win over New York Red Bulls.
Concedes twice in win Blake conceded two goals and made three saves in Saturday's 4-2 win against Toronto.
Impact Blake has conceded five goals in his last three games, making five saves. With only one clean sheet in seven appearances so far, he is unlikely to come close to the 16 he managed last season. With matches against NY Red Bulls and Colorado up next, he faces two teams struggling close to the bottom of their respective conferences.

One save in draw Blake registered one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Chicago Fire.
Impact Blake is not having the best start to the season, only recording one save with seven goals allowed in his first six matches. He had already completed four clean sheets in six games this time last year. What is most surprising is the keeper is only averaging 1.6 saves a contest, which is far lower than his usual average of about 3.1. He will face a visit from Toronto FC on Saturday, who have scored six goals in the last five matches.

After that will be a domestic clash against the Fire, which have scored nine goals in six MLS matches this season.

He also allowed just two goals against the opponent in two outings last season.

Concedes three goals in Cup Final Blake made five saves but conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-3 (3-0 after penalties) defeat against LAFC in the MLS Cup Final.
Impact Blake was beaten by a Kellyn Acosta free kick (which took a major deflection) and headers from Jesus Murillo and Gareth Bale as Saturday's epic MLS Cup Final went to a penalty shootout. Blake saved Cristian Tello's initial attempt before Denis Bouanga, Ryan Hollingshead and Ilie Sanchez were all able to slot home and send the trophy to Los Angeles. But Blake can hold his head high after leading the league in clean sheets (16) and conceding just 30 goals in 37 appearances this season, and he also became the first player to ever win three MLS Goalkeeper of the Year awards.
