Rotowire
Wedgewood will defend the road net against the Lightning on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old Wedgewood has posted a record of 18-2-4 this season with two shutouts, a 2.17 GAA and a .918 save percentage through 26 appearances. Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.44 goals per game this campaign.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Takes rare loss versus Panthers
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers.
Wedgewood did his part with a decent effort, but the Avalanche got burned on two turnovers and didn't have the offense to bail out their netminder. This loss ended Wedgewood's winning streak at five games, but it was just his second regulation loss all season. He's now 18-2-4 with a 2.17 GAA and a .918 save percentage across 26 starts. Considering he started both halves of a weekend back-to-back while Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is out, Wedgewood looks set for heavy usage in the short term, while Trent Miner is firmly in the backup role. The Avalanche's three-game road trip ends with another hard matchup Tuesday versus the Lightning.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Gets back in win column
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Wedgewood hadn't won since Nov. 23, going 0-0-2 over three outings in that span while missing some time with a recurring back issue. That injury concern could linger, but he's healthy for now and should continue to put together good performances whenever he's between the pipes. Wedgewood is up to 14-1-4 with a 2.11 GAA and a .920 save percentage over 21 starts. The Avalanche's next game is in Seattle on Tuesday, but head coach Jared Bednar may be looking to get back onto a goalie rotation that would see Mackenzie Blackwood in line for that start. If the rotation is reestablished, Wedgewood is lined up to start Friday at home versus the Jets.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Pulled by concussion spotter
Rotowire
Wedgewood was forced to leave the shootout of Tuesday's game versus the Predators after a collision during one of Nashville's attempts, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Given the late nature of the collision, an update on Wedgewood's status won't be available until Wednesday at the earliest. Wedgewood will be in the concussion protocol until he is cleared to play. If he misses time, the Avalanche might have to turn to Isak Posch as a call-up option for Thursday's game versus the Panthers since Trent Miner, who was sent down Sunday, has not yet had an opportunity to play with AHL Colorado since his demotion.

Rotowire
Wedgewood's back tightened up on him, and that's the reason he was pulled from Tuesday's game versus the Canucks, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
