Wedgewood starts Wednesday vs. the Stars.

Surprisingly, Colorado hasn't leaned on Scott Wedgewood much this season and has relied on Blackwood between the pipes in five of their first six games. Wedgewood's tremendous 2025-26 season, posting a 2.02 GAA and .921 SV% in 45 appearances (31-6-6), should at least earn him close to a timeshare by season's end, even if the team is showing early-season favour for Blackwood. The 34-year-old Wedgewood saved 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in his only game this season, a 7-3 win over the Calgary Flames. Colorado enters Wednesday's contest as -131 home favourites against a Dallas Stars team they defeated 3-2 yesterday.

Wedgewood will start Game 3 in Vegas.

Despite posting a .902 SV% through the first two games of the series, Scott Wedgewood and the Avalanche find themself in a hole and down 2-0 as they head to Vegas for Game 3 on Sunday. Wedgewood has been solid all postseason despite Colorado's recent struggles, posting a 7-3-0 record, 2.30 GAA and a .912 SV% in 10 games played. He will look to get Colorado back in the win column after two close loses to the Golden Knights to start the series.

Wedgewood will start Game 2 vs. Vegas.

Despite allowing three goals on 27 shots against (.889 SV%) in Game 1, Colorado will stick with Scott Wedgewood as they host Vegas for Game 2 of the Western Conference Final on Friday. The 33-year-old has yet to lose back-to-back games in the playoffs and will hope to bounce back to the sensational form we had seen in his previous eight playoff appearances. He holds a 7-2-0 record with a 2.32 GAA and .911 SV% in nine appearances this offseason. He will look to even the series and slow down Vegas' current three game winning streak.

Wedgewood will start Game 1 against the Golden Knights.

After a tremendous first-round matchup against the Los Angeles Kings, posting a dazzling 1.21 GAA and .950 SV% in a four-game sweep, Wedgewood battled some adversity in the second round against the Minnesota Wild. The 33-year-old Wedgewood allowed three goals on 12 shots (.750 SV%) in Game Three, a 5-1 loss to Minnesota, and was relieved by Mackenzie Blackwood, who started the subsequent two games. Wedgewood posted a concerning 3.51 GAA and .872 SV% in four second-round appearances (3-1), but saved all seven shots he faced in relief of Blackwood in Colorado's series-clinching Game Five victory. The Avalanche enter Game One as -172 home favourites.

Wedgewood will start Game 2 against the Wild.

Wedgewood will no doubt be hoping for a more conventional victory over the Wild in Game 2, but the Avalanche will take them anyway they can get them. Wedgewood was tagged for six goals on 36 shots in Game 1 but still managed to come away with the win thanks to his teammates lighting the lamp nine times against the Wild. The Avalanche enter action on Tuesday at -190 on the money line as they aim to take a commanding 2-0 series lead.

Wedgewood will start in Game 1 vs. Minnesota.

Several weeks ago, Colorado was non-committal about who their starting goalie would be in the postseason, but after a dominant four-game sweep over the Los Angeles Kings, there is no doubt they will roll with Wedgewood to start round two against the Minnesota Wild. Piggybacking off a career-best regular season, Wedgewood was tremendous in four postseason games (4-0), posting an impressive 1.21 GAA and .950 SV%. The well-rested Avalanche enter Game One as -177 home favourites.

Wedgewood will start in Game Four.

Several weeks ago, Colorado was non-committal about who their starting goalie would be in the postseason, but three games in, they are confident in their decision to turn to Wedgewood. In his first postseason as a starting goalie, the 33-year-old Wedgewood has been outstanding, helping his team jump out to a 3-0 series lead, boasting a dazzling 1.28 GAA and .947 SV%. The Avalanche hope to sweep the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, entering Game Four as -169 road favourites.

Wedgewood will start Game 3 in Los Angeles.

Wedgewood stopped a Quinton Byfield shootout attempt in the second period, one of 24 saves in Colorado's 2-1 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings in Game Two. The 33-year-old Wedgewood has been tremendous in his first two career playoff starts, saving a combined 48 of 50 shots (.960 SV%). Several weeks ago, it seemed unclear who would be Colorado's starting goalie in the postseason, but Wedgewood's strong play has made it his crease to lose. Colorado enters Game Three as a -162 road favourite.

Wedgewood will start Game 2 against the Kings.

Wedgewood made his first career playoff start on Sunday in Game One and was less than three minutes away from recording his first postseason shutout, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings. The 33-year-old Wedgewood ended the regular season with an absurd 0.64 GAA and .970 SV% in his last three games (3-0-0) and has clearly carried that momentum into the playoffs. The Avalanche enter Game Two on Tuesday as sizeable -256 home favourites.

Wedgewood will start vs. Seattle on Thursday.

It's unclear which goalie will be in Colorado's crease to start the postseason, but the more consistent Wedgewood will tend the twine in their final game of the season. The 33-year-old Wedgewood was excellent in his previous outing, saving 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) in a 2-1 shootout win over the Edmonton Oilers. Since mid-March, Wedgewood has an outstanding 1.22 GAA and .947 SV% in his last seven games (5-1-1). The Avalanche enter Thursday's contest as -174 home favourites against a Seattle Kraken team that was defeated 4-1 by the Vegas Golden Knights last night.
