Avalanche's Trent Miner: Starting Tuesday

Miner will patrol the home crease in Tuesday's preseason game versus Vegas, according to Bailey Curtis of The Hockey News.

With Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) dealing with an injury, Miner could begin the 2025-26 campaign as Scott Wedgewood's backup. The 24-year-old Miner posted a 22-10-6 record with a 2.12 GAA and a .918 save percentage across 38 regular-season appearances for AHL Colorado in 2024-25.
