Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Takes loss in first start for Avs
Scott Wedgewood stopped 30 of 34 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes, with Carolina's final goal getting scored into an empty net.Making his first start for Colorado since being acquired from Nashville at the end of November, Wedgewood failed to make a strong impression, although two of Carolina's tallies came on power plays, and a third was tipped home by Eric Robinson on a point shot by Brent Burns. The door is open for Wedgewood to seize the No. 1 job for the Colorado Avalanche given Alexandar Georgiev's struggles this season, but he'll need to perform better to bump the incumbent starter aside. Through seven appearances this season between the Avalanche and the Predators, the 32-year-old Wedgewood has a 3.28 GAA and .893 save percentage.
