Scott Wedgewood Makes First Start In Season Debut Against Flames

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood protected the road goal versus the Calgary Flames, making his first start of the season as the team wrapped up a back-to-back set. Wedgewood kept the Avalanche afloat during a sloppy opening period by denying Mikael Backlund on back-to-back opportunities and flashing his glove to rob Joel Farabee on a shorthanded breakaway. Mackenzie Blackwood started strong by going 2-1-0, but Wedgewood remains a reliable option after his strong performance.
