Avalanche’s Unexpected Move: Blackwood Returns from Injured Reserve, Shaking Up Goaltending Depth!
Blackwood has not appeared since Dec. 31, when he stopped 12 of 13 shots in a 6–1 win over the St. Louis Blues. He was placed on injured reserve ahead of a three-game road trip, during which the Avalanche went 1–2–0 while also dealing with additional injuries to Gabe Landeskog and Devon Toews.
In total, Colorado posted a 3–2–1 record during Blackwood’s absence. Scott Wedgewood handled all three starts on the road and remained in net when the Avalanche opened their seven-game homestand against the Ottawa Senators. Miner was called upon for the final two games, recording his first career NHL win with a shutout of the Columbus Blue Jackets before following it up with a 4–3 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
