Sharks' Mackenzie Blackwood: Hangs on for OT win
MacKenzie Blackwood stopped 19 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.UHC jumped out to a 4-1 lead through two periods, but the San Jose Sharks dominated the third as they rallied and carried Blackwood to his first win of the season. The 27-year-old netminder has had a rough start to the campaign, stumbling to a 3.89 GAA and an .888 save percentage to match his 1-3-2 record, but Vitek Vanecek (4.00 GAA, .869 save percentage) hasn't been any better. Meanwhile, Yaroslav Askarov has a 1.25 GAA through his first four appearances for San Jose's AHL club. It's only a matter of time before one of Blackwood or Vanecek lose their spot to the franchise's goalie of the future.

Sharks' Mackenzie Blackwood: Struggles early in loss
MacKenzie Blackwood allowed three goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.Blackwood put in a decent performance aside from the first 12 minutes, when he allowed all three goals. The San Jose Sharks made an effort at a comeback but fell short. Blackwood was the first goalie to start back-to-back games for the Sharks this season, though he remains winless at 0-3-2 with 17 goals allowed on 165 shots over his five appearances.

Sharks' Mackenzie Blackwood: Decent in loss
MacKenzie Blackwood stopped 37 of 39 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Ducks. The third goal was an empty-netter.Blackwood remains winless (0-2-2) through four appearances, but this was much better than when he allowed five goals on 18 shots versus the Jets last Friday. The 27-year-old netminder will continue to struggle to earn wins behind a poor San Jose Sharks team, and he can't be counted on to provide steady ratios. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky has rotated his goalies evenly so far, so it's likely Blackwood will watch Thursday's game versus the Kings from the bench before returning to the crease Saturday in Vegas.
