Blackwood will start Friday's home game against the Penguins, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Blackwood got the night off in the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday against Dallas, but he'll be between the pipes Friday for the sixth time in Colorado's first eight games of the year. Across his previous five starts, he went 3-2-0 with a 3.04 GAA and .879 save percentage.
