Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Still being evaluated
Rotowire
Wedgewood (lower body) continues to undergo further evaluation but appears to be facing a somewhat long-term absence after head coach Jared Bednar told reporters Friday, "I'm guessing it's going to be week-to-week," per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
It's a tough blow for Wedgewood considering he was putting up decent numbers in Colorado. The 32-year-old netminder is 4-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and one shutout in seven appearances for the Avalanche. Still, barring a long-term concern, Wedgewood could still see plenty of action this season as the No. 2 option in Colorado. In the meantime, the Avs will likely need to bring up either Kevin Mandolese or Trent Miner from the minors ahead of Saturday's clash with Montreal.
