Wedgewood stopped 28 of 34 shots in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers. Wedgewood has struggled massively in his three appearances this season, giving up at least three goals each time en route to a 1-2-0 record, a 4.37 GAA and a subpar .841 save percentage. Wedgewood shouldn't be targeted in any fantasy format going forward, both due to his struggles but also due to his backup role behind Juuse Saros.

Wedgewood stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets. The Predators didn't lead until Jonathan Marchessault scored the game-winner 1:44 into overtime. Wedgewood has allowed seven goals on 48 shots over his first two appearances of the season, which isn't enough for him to make a dent in Juuse Saros' playing time. Wedgewood will likely return to the bench when the Predators visit the Lightning on Monday.

Wedgewood will guard the home goal versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports. Wedgewood will draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back after Juuse Saros earned the win Friday over the Blackhawks. The 32-year-old Wedgewood's last game action came Opening Night versus the Stars, and he allowed four goals on 20 shots in that contest. The Blue Jackets have scored 24 goals over six games this season.

Wedgewood surrendered four goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars. While the Predators' new-look offense controlled play pretty well, the Stars were opportunistic against their former teammate, striking four times in the second period. Wedgewood got the Opening Night assignment because Juuse Saros (lower body) was unavailable. Depending on the length of Saros' absence, Wedgewood may have some short-term fantasy appeal, but he was roughly average last season with a 16-7-5 record, 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage over 32 appearances.

Wedgewood stopped just 11 of 15 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 preseason win over the Hurricanes. While Nashville's offense dominated play and built a 3-0 lead midway through the first period, Wedgewood wasn't exactly sharp on the limited shot volume he faced. The 32-year-old goalie was brought in this offseason to provide a steady veteran backup to Juuse Saros, but Wedgewood has coughed up 10 goals on only 38 shots in two exhibition outings for the Preds. If his struggles continue into the regular season, Magnus Chrona or Matt Murray could get a look as Saros' understudy instead.
