Mackenzie Blackwood News: Gets hook in Dallas

Blackwood gave up four goals on 11 shots before being replaced by Scott Wedgewood early in the second period of Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Stars.

The Avalanche were staring at a 4-2 deficit when Blackwood got the hook, and the move worked for head coach Jared Bednar. It was the first time Blackwood had allowed more than three goals in a start since Jan. 23. Over his last 10 outings, he has produced a 5-4-0 record, 2.50 GAA and .900 save percentage.
