Blackwood turned aside 37 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Getting his first start since being traded from the Sharks to the Avalanche, Blackwood took a shutout into the third period but had to settle for his first win with his new club. The 28-year-old should get first crack at the top job in the revamped Colorado crease ahead of Scott Wedgewood. Blackwood has a 2.95 GAA and .912 save percentage through 20 outings this season, while his 7-9-3 record should improve quickly with a better offense supporting him.
