Rotowire
Wedgewood allowed two goals on 24 shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Wedgewood gave up both goals in the third period, but the Avalanche were able to answer each of those tallies in short order. This was Wedgewood's third straight win in March, and he's allowed just three goals on 77 shots for the month. Overall, the 32-year-old netminder is at 9-6-1 with a 2.46 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 18 appearances between the Avalanche and the Predators this season. Mackenzie Blackwood was ill Friday but was still able to back up, and he'll likely get the nod for Sunday's home game versus the Stars.

Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Still being evaluated
Rotowire
Wedgewood (lower body) continues to undergo further evaluation but appears to be facing a somewhat long-term absence after head coach Jared Bednar told reporters Friday, "I'm guessing it's going to be week-to-week," per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.
It's a tough blow for Wedgewood considering he was putting up decent numbers in Colorado. The 32-year-old netminder is 4-2-0 with a 2.35 GAA and one shutout in seven appearances for the Avalanche.
