Blackwood surrendered five goals on 18 shots in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Jets.
Blackwood was pulled early in the second period, and Vitek Vanecek took over, allowing three goals on 18 shots the rest of the way. This was the first time Blackwood failed to at least keep the Sharks competitive. He's allowed 12 goals on 96 shots over his three appearances, going 0-1-2. The Sharks have alternated goalies so far this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Vanecek make the next start at home versus the Avalanche on Sunday.
