Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Pulled against Canucks
Blackwood stopped 13 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Canucks.
While it looked like a good matchup in theory, Blackwood's dreadful performance likely burned a lot of fantasy managers at a bad time of year. The silver lining was that he didn't end up with the loss, as the Avalanche were able to cover his damage. He's gone just 4-3-0 with 30 goals allowed on 194 shots over his last 10 outings, though Blackwood is still seeing the edge for playing time over Scott Wedgewood, who allowed one goal on six shots in relief. Blackwood remains at 21-9-1 with a 2.57 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 34 appearances this season. He'll likely start one of the next two games as the Avalanche visit the Stars on Saturday before hosting the Blues on Sunday.
