Mackenzie Blackwood Stops 16 Shots in Colorado's 3-2 Defeat to Winnipeg

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 16 of 19 shots in a 3-2 road loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Blackwood, who entered the matchup having won his opening two games while stopping 52 of 57 shots, surrendered the game-winning goal to Kyle Connor in the final minute of regulation. Despite the loss, Blackwood remains a key fixture in net for the Avalanche as they prepare to play the second half of a back-to-back set in Calgary.
