Does Mackenzie Blackwood Need To Worry About The Starting Goaltender Job!?



Scott Wedgewood’s red-hot start has Avalanche fans wondering if he’s earned more than a backup role — and whether Mackenzie Blackwood should worry about the starting crease when he returns from his conditioning stint. Despite Wedgewood’s surge, Colorado committed long-term to Blackwood with a 5-year deal ($5.25M AAV), signaling he’s still the organization’s planned No. 1. We break down the numbers, the timeline, and why a true tandem could lighten Blackwood’s load while keeping the Avs atop the NHL. DNVR Avalanche AJ Haefele, Rudo, & Bailey Curtis Break Down Does Mackenzie Blackwood Need To Worry About The Starting Goaltender Job with how good Scott Wedgewood Has been?

    Blackwood is younger and bigger. Wedgewood will never be the starter IMO unless Blackwood severely regresses. If Wedge is playing great and Blackwood mediocre then they might favor Wedgie for short periods, maybe especially in the playoffs, but not for a month+ long go as the starter.

    He already lost it. It's only a few weeks, so everyone will expect blackwood to gain chances to take the net. But ask Bednar, it's clearly already morphed into a battle that's up in the air again. Blackwood didn't lose the job, but Wedgewood fought for it, and it's fair enough. 100% up in the air as we speak. It's nobody's job.
