Mackenzie Blackwood is currently under the weather and will not travel to Pittsburgh; the Avalanche will fly him directly to Denver to recover.
This trade reflects their belief that a 'factory reset' in the crease with Blackwood and Wedgewood can revitalize goaltending amidst a season of struggles.
MacFarland emphasizes the importance of Wedgewood's experience, stating he will push for starts while also supporting Blackwood, creating a better goalie tandem.
The Avalanche's ongoing injury issues have made finding consistency challenging, but they hope the new goaltender pairing can help stabilize their performance.
