NASHVILLE — Scott Wedgewood has been one of the great stories in the NHL at the start of the 2025-26 season, to the point where Mackenzie Blackwood has not had the chance to work through some injury-related rust with a typical starter’s workload.
Blackwood picked a great time to have his best game of the young season Saturday night. The Colorado Avalanche struggled at times in front of him, but Blackwood was outstanding with 35 saves in a 3-0 victory against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena.
It wasn’t pretty, but the Avs have now won eight straight games and are 10-0-2 in the past 12.
