Avalanche’s Unexpected Move: Blackwood Returns from Injured Reserve, Shaking Up Goaltending Depth!
Before the injury, Blackwood had been one of the league’s most effective goaltenders. Through 16 appearances, the 29-year-old owns a 13–1–1 record with a .924 save percentage, while his 2.07 goals-against average led the NHL at the time he was sidelined. Serving as a tandem option alongside fellow Canadian Scott Wedgewood, Blackwood provided Colorado with steady, high-level goaltending throughout the season’s first half.
A veteran of eight NHL seasons, the Thunder Bay, Ont. native has compiled a career record of 116–104–29, with previous stops in San Jose and New Jersey before joining the Avalanche midway through the 2024–25 campaign. He carries a career .907 save percentage and a 2.91 goals-against average.
