Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Facing Leafs

Blackwood will start Sunday's game against the Maple Leafs, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

With Scott Wedgewood dealing with a personal issue, Blackwood is the undisputed No. 1 goaltender in Colorado, and the latter will start a second straight contest. The 29-year-old Blackwood is on a personal two-game losing streak, during which he has allowed 11 goals on 47 shots. The Maple Leafs have lost three straight games.
