Blackwood will tend the twine on the road against the Jets on Friday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Blackwood has suffered overtime defeats in each of his two appearances this season while posting a 3.33 GAA and .910 save percentage. The 27-year-old backstop will continue to split the workload with Vitek Vanecek for the time being, though top prospect Yaroslav Askarov could be in the mix at some point down the line.
