Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Loses in tight contest

Wedgewood made 24 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday.

He allowed three goals in a tight game. Wedgewood has lost two straight games for the first time this season. Overall, he's put up a career-best 18-3-4 record with two shutouts, 2.20 GAA and .917 save percentage so far this season. Wedgewood will carry a heavy load with Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) on the shelf again. The Avs play at home Thursday against Ottawa and Saturday against Columbus.
