Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Gets plenty of support in win
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 26 of 29 shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flames.
Wedgewood wasn't great in his first start of the year, but the Avalanche gave him plenty of support. The 34-year-old netminder did well with a steady workload in 2025-26, posting a 2.02 GAA and a .921 save percentage over a career-high 45 regular-season games. With Mackenzie Blackwood off to a strong start this year, that kind of consistent playing time may not be available to Wedgewood. Expect Blackwood to be back in the crease Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, though the two goalies should split next week's home-and-home set against the Stars.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: In goal Thursday
Rotowire
Wedgewood will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Thursday.
Wedgewood will make his first start of the season while the Avalanche wrap up a back-to-back set. Mackenzie Blackwood has looked good while going 2-1-0 with eight goals allowed over his first three starts of the year. If Blackwood continues to start regularly, Wedgewood will have to settle for the backup role, though he's also a fairly reliable goalie in his own right.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Strong showing to end preseason
Rotowire
Wedgewood made 33 saves in Saturday's 2-0 preseason loss to the Mammoth.
The Avalanche couldn't solve Karel Vejmelka in the other crease, but Wedgewood did what he could to keep his team in the game after allowing two first-period goals, one on the power play. Wedgewood will split the workload in the Colorado crease with Mackenzie Blackwood once again after posting a 31-6-6 record in 45 regular-season appearances last season with a 2.02 GAA and .921 save percentage.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Wedgewood will defend the road net in Saturday's preseason finale against Utah, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Wedgewood went 31-6-6 with four shutouts, a 2.02 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 45 outings during the 2025-26 regular season. He will compete for starts with Mackenzie Blackwood in the 2026-27 campaign.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Solid effort in loss
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 13 of 14 shots on net in Monday's 3-1 preseason loss against the Jets.
Wedgewood played the first 31:13 of Monday's contest, and he looked sharp outside of the lone goal he allowed to Gabriel Vilardi. The 34-year-old Wedgewood picked up where he left off last season, where he posted a 31-6-6 record, a 2.02 GAA and a .921 save percentage across 45 regular-season outings. He's poised to serve in one of the league's most effective tandems from last season alongside Mackenzie Blackwood to begin the 2026-27 season.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Slated to start Monday
Rotowire
Head coach Jared Bednar said that Wedgewood will draw the road start during Monday's preseason game against Winnipeg, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Previous reports indicated that Ilya Nabokov would defend the road crease Monday, but Bednar announced after Sunday's preseason win over the Mammoth that Wedgewood will begin the matchup in the crease, with Nabokov slated to enter about halfway through the game. Wedgewood made 45 regular-season appearances for the Avalanche last year and went 31-6-6 with a 2.02 GAA and .921 save percentage. He's likely to reprise a platoon role in net alongside Mackenzie Blackwood during the 2026-27 campaign.
Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Squanders three-goal lead
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 18 of 22 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Wedgewood was given the nod again in Vegas despite losing the previous two games on home ice. The Avalanche gave him a 3-0 lead in the first period, but the Golden Knights charged back and took the contest. This is the first time Wedgewood has lost three straight games all year. He's down to 7-4 with a 2.47 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 11 playoff outings. With Wedgewood's struggles against the Golden Knights, head coach Jared Bednar may consider turning to Mackenzie Blackwood with the Avalanche's season on the line in Game 4 on Tuesday.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Tending twine in Vegas
Rotowire
Wedgewood will be between the road pipes in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Golden Knights on Sunday.
Wedgewood started the playoffs with six straight wins, but he's faltered lately, going 1-3 over his last four outings while allowing eight goals on 70 shots. However, head coach Jared Bednar is showing trust in the 33-year-old netminder, as Colorado's bench boss could have elected to go with Mackenzie Blackwood since Wedgewood was in net for the first two games of this series, both of which were losses. The Avalanche are getting a huge boost to their lineup Sunday -- Cale Makar (upper body) is giving it a go in his usual spot on the No. 1 pairing next to Devon Toews.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Comes up short again in Game 2
Rotowire
Wedgewood allowed two goals on 24 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Wedgewood was unable to get a 1-0 lead across the finish line in the third period. He allowed the two goals in a span of 2:07 in the middle of the frame, and the Avalanche's offense couldn't bail him out. Prior to this series, Wedgewood hadn't lost consecutive games in regulation since Jan. 4-6. He's stopped 46 of 51 shots against Vegas so far. It's unclear if head coach Jared Bednar is planning on a goaltending change for Game 3 in Vegas on Sunday, but Wedgewood has been decent despite the results going against him.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Set to start Game 2
Rotowire
Wedgewood is expected to guard the cage at home against Vegas in Game 2 on Friday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Wedgewood will get the nod despite giving up three goals on 27 shots (.889 save percentage) in a Game 1 defeat to the Golden Knights. In the postseason, the 33-year-old backstop is 7-2 with a 2.32 GAA and .911 save percentage in nine outings. Even with the club giving Wedgewood the start, he figures to be on a short leash; another tough outing could give Mackenzie Blackwood another opportunity.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Loses Game 1 of WCF
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped 24 of 27 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Wedgewood didn't get enough support early on while keeping Vegas off the board for the first 32-plus minutes until Dylan Coghlan scored at 12:29 of the second period. This was just the second loss in nine outings this postseason for Wedgewood, and it's the third time he's allowed more than two goals. The absence of Cale Makar (undisclosed) looms large, but the Avalanche's defense still did fairly well despite the loss. Game 2 is Friday, but head coach Jared Bednar has yet to reveal his starting goalie for that contest.

Rotowire
Wedgewood is expected to start at home against Vegas in Game 1 on Wednesday, per Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.
After entering last Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against Minnesota in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood, Wedgewood stopped all seven shots he faced en route to a 4-3 series-winning overtime victory. The 33-year-old Wedgewood is 7-1 with a 2.21 GAA and a .914 save percentage in eight outings this playoffs. Vegas has averaged an impressive 3.67 goals per game in the 2026 postseason.
Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Earns win in relief Wednesday
Rotowire
Wedgewood stopped all seven shots he faced in relief of Mackenzie Blackwood in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild in Game 5.
Wedgewood got the crease at the start of the second period after Blackwood gave up three goals on 13 shots in the first. The Wild didn't test Wedgewood much after the switch, and he earned the comeback win. He's now 7-1 with a 2.21 GAA and a .914 save percentage over eight playoff outings. It wouldn't be surprising if Wedgewood returned to the starting role to begin the Western Conference Finals.
