Blackwood stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks. The third goal was an empty-netter with 2:35 left in the third period.

The Avs couldn't find a way to stop Kiefer Sherwood, who beat Blackwood in each of the first and second periods -- the 29-year-old forward also accounted for the empty-net marker in the third frame -- to hand the netminder his second defeat over his last three outings. The 28-year-old goaltender has made five appearances this month, going 2-2-0 with a 2.40 GAA and a .935 save percentage. Despite the loss Monday, he's been performing well enough to remain a valuable fantasy option when he's protecting the Avs' crease.
