Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Reaches 20-win mark
Blackwood stopped 23 of 27 shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.
Blackwood played back-to-back games in Alberta, and came away with wins in both. This was a challenging matchup, as expected, but Blackwood held firm in the third period and made Martin Necas' tally with 4:22 left in the frame stand as the game-winner. The 28-year-old Blackwood goes into the 4 Nations Face-Off break a winner in five of his last seven starts, improving to 20-15-5 with a 2.53 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 41 appearances. He won't be on international duty during the break, so he'll have two weeks to rest up before the season resumes with a back-to-back on the road -- the Avalanche visit Nashville on Feb. 22 and St. Louis on Feb. 23.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Going back-to-back
Blackwood will start on the road versus the Oilers on Friday, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports.
Blackwood will start both halves of a back-to-back, as the Avalanche apparently don't want Trent Miner facing the Oilers with Scott Wedgewood (upper body) still ailing. Blackwood made 27 saves on 29 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames. The 28-year-old has won four of his last six starts with just 12 goals allowed in that span, though the Oilers' offense is always good to produce a challenge, especially in the second half of a back-to-back.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Holds firm for win
Blackwood stopped 27 of 29 shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Blackwood picked up his fourth win in his last six outings, bouncing back from being on the wrong side of a shutout Tuesday in Vancouver. The Avalanche's three-goal second period gave him all the support he needed. The 28-year-old improved to 19-15-5 with a 2.49 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 40 contests overall. The Avalanche are back in action Friday against the Oilers, and it's not yet clear who will start in goal for that game.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Slated to start against Calgary
Blackwood was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Conor McGahey of Altitude TV reports, indicating that he'll draw the start on the road against Calgary.
Blackwood will draw a sixth consecutive start Thursday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a night off in Edmonton on Friday since it's the second half of a back-to-back set. Blackwood has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.03 GAA and .927 save percentage over his last five starts, a span that includes a pair of shutout wins. The Flames are a favorable opponent, as they're averaging 2.66 goals this season, which is the fifth-worst mark in the NHL.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Loses to Canucks
Blackwood allowed two goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Canucks. The third goal was an empty-netter.
For the third game in a row, the Avalanche were involved in a shutout, but this was the first time in that stretch it wasn't in their favor. Blackwood still put in a decent performance but didn't get any scoring support. He's won three of his last five outings while allowing 10 goals in that span. For the season, he's 18-15-5 with a 2.50 GAA and a .917 save percentage through 39 appearances. Blackwood will likely start once more before the 4 Nations Face-Off break, either in Calgary on Thursday or in Edmonton on Friday.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Starting again Tuesday
Blackwood will protect the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday.
Blackwood has earned a shutout in each of his last two starts, needing just 43 total saves in that span. The 28-year-old looks to be back in a groove after a sluggish second half of January. He'll face a Canucks team that's still looking to find some chemistry after a couple of trades last week, including one that sent J.T. Miller to the Rangers.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Back-to-back shutouts
Blackwood posted a 24-save shutout Sunday in a 2-0 win over the Flyers.
After a rough stretch in which Blackwood conceded at least three goals in five consecutive games, the Ontario native has earned back-to-back shutouts. Blackwood was one of two netminders in the NHL to make at least 12 appearances in the month of January, so a break in the schedule when the 4 Nations Face-Off begins Feb. 12 should benefit the 28-year-old in a big way. The move to Colorado has done wonders for the 2015 second-round pick -- he has a .925 save percentage and a 2.03 GAA while winning 12 of 19 outings since being acquired in a trade from San Jose on Dec. 9.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Starting Sunday
Blackwood will patrol the home crease against Philadelphia on Sunday.
Blackwood is coming off a 19-save shutout win over St. Louis on Friday. He has posted a record of 11-5-2 with a 2.15 GAA and a .921 save percentage in his last 18 appearances. Philadelphia sits 19th in the league with 2.85 goals per game in 2024-25.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Cruises to shutout win
Blackwood posted a 19-save shutout in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blues.
Blackwood was spotted a 4-0 lead after the first period, and the Blues never really put up much of a threat. This performance ended a stretch of five straight outings in which Blackwood gave up at least three goals. Unsurprisingly, he won just once in that span. The 28-year-old netminder is now 17-14-5 with a 2.58 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 37 appearances between the Avalanche and the Sharks. The Avalanche are back in action Sunday versus the Flyers.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Slated to start against St. Louis
Blackwood is expected to start at home against the Blues on Friday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Blackwood will tend the twine in a third consecutive game Friday, but he hasn't been particularly sharp in recent matchups. The 28-year-old has gone 1-3-1 with a 3.68 GAA and .874 save percentage over his last five starts but will have a favorable matchup against the Blues, who are generating 2.75 goals per game this season, which is the eighth-worst mark in the NHL.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Sunk by Isles
Blackwood turned aside 23 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders, with New York's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The 28-year-old netminder battled Ilya Sorokin to a 1-1 tie through two periods, but the floodgates opened for the Isles in the third. Blackwood has just one win in his last five starts and has given up at least three goals in each of those outings, going 1-3-1 with a 3.68 GAA and .874 save percentage over that stretch.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Slated to start on Long Island
Blackwood was the first netminder off at Tuesday's morning skate, indicating he'll be between the road pipes versus the Islanders, per Conor McGahey of Altitude TV.
Blackwood has faltered of late, going 1-2-1 over his last four starts while allowing at least three goals in each outing. The 28-year-old has a 5-3-2 record, .912 save percentage and 2.37 GAA through 10 appearances in January. The Islanders rank 29th in the NHL with 2.67 goals per game in 2024-25.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: 33 saves in road win
Blackwood made 33 saves in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.
Despite the fast-paced nature of the contest, the 28-year-old netminder helped keep Colorado in the driver's seat for the majority of the game. Blackwood's two most recent wins have come against the Rangers, and Sunday's contest was his 10th win with Colorado. The netminder now holds a 16-13-5 record with a 2.62 GAA and a .916 save percentage. He currently has the third-most saves among goaltenders with 922 stops, and the move to Colorado via trade in December has bolstered Blackwood's fantasy value substantially. His next opportunity to guard the crease will be Tuesday against the Islanders.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Starting in New York
Blackwood will guard the road net Sunday against the Rangers.
Blackwood will look to bounce back after dropping his previous three starts -- he's struggled to an .873 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 28-year-old netminder is 9-4-2 while maintaining an impressive .925 save percentage in 15 starts since joining the Avs.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Loses in overtime
Blackwood stopped 22 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
The Jets' first two goals came on a tip and a deflection before Neal Pionk sealed their win with a slap shot in overtime. Blackwood has lost four of his last five outings, giving up a total of 14 goals in that span, in which he's 1-3-1. For the season, the 28-year-old is 15-13-5 with a 2.57 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 34 appearances. This is his first real stretch of struggles with the Avalanche, though his four recent defeats have all come against teams currently in a playoff spot. The Avalanche have a back-to-back up next -- they visit the Bruins on Saturday and the Rangers on Sunday.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Slated to start Wednesday
Blackwood is expected to get the starting nod at home versus Winnipeg on Wednesday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Blackwood has featured in 14 of the Avs' last 17 contests, posting a 9-4-1 record to go with an impressive 1.97 GAA. Given his heavy workload thus far, the 28-year-old netminder should be expected to be in the crease more often than not -- though an upcoming back-to-back versus the Bruins and Rangers on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, should give Blackwood a night off in favor of Scott Wedgewood.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Struggles again Monday
Blackwood turned aside 23 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Wild.
Although Blackwood has been largely successful since joining the Avalanche, he was charged with a second consecutive loss Monday as he wasn't particularly sharp against Minnesota. The 28-year-old has allowed seven goals on 54 shots (.870 save percentage) over his last two starts, and it certainly seems possible that the Avalanche will give him a breather Wednesday against the Jets in order to regroup. If Blackwood sits Wednesday, Scott Wedgewood would presumably draw the start.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Between pipes against Minnesota
Blackwood will defend the home crease against the Wild on Monday.
Blackwood has been relatively effective since being traded to the Avalanche from the Sharks, but he'll be looking for a bounce-back performance Monday after he gave up four goals on 28 shots (.857 save percentage) in a loss to Edmonton on Thursday. Blackwood made a road start against the Wild on Jan. 9 and turned aside 24 of 25 shots (.960 save percentage) en route to a 6-1 win.

Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: First dud in Colorado colors
Blackwood stopped 23 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.
Considering the Avalanche had a 3-0 lead just over halfway through the first period, this was an unimpressive performance. This was Blackwood's first bad outing for Colorado -- he had not allowed more than two goals in any of his prior 12 appearances. He's now 15-12-4 with a 2.54 GAA and a .918 save percentage across 32 games between the Avalanche and the Sharks. Colorado's next game is Saturday versus the Stars.
