Blackwood stopped 39 of 41 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.
The Sharks got two-point efforts from Tomas Hertl and Fabian Zetterlund, but Blackwood was the biggest reason they won. The 26-year-old netminder has won his last two starts, allowing just three goals on 80 shots in that span. He's now at 2-6-1 with a 4.00 GAA and an .899 save percentage through 10 appearances. Blackwood will likely face a ton of pucks when he plays, but he's shown flashes of being able to steal a result on occasion. He'll likely get some rest while serving as the backup for Friday's game in Vegas.
