Scott Wedgewood Set to Start Sunday for Avalanche, Career Details Emerge

Scott Wedgewood is slated to get the home start for the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday against the Islanders, as reported by Ryan Boulding of NHL.com. Wedgewood, who signed a two-year deal with the Predators on July 1, posted a 16-7-5 record, 2.85 GAA, and .899 save percentage with the Stars in 2023-24. He is considered the clear No. 2 in Nashville, behind Juuse Saros and ahead of Yaroslav Askarov, likely limiting him to no more than 20 starts. In 2022-23, he found stability as Jake Oettinger's backup in Dallas, achieving a 9-8-3 record, 2.72 GAA, and .915 save percentage over 21 games. His career includes stints with the Devils, Coyotes, and Stars in 2021-22, and an overall NHL record of 3.05 GAA and .903 save percentage in 24 appearances. While not a standard fantasy option, his stable backup role offers appeal in deeper formats.
