SJHN Daily: Blackwood Linked to Avs Again, Two Ex-Sharks on Waivers
Could Mackenzie Blackwood be on the move soon?
The 27-year-old goalie, who carried the San Jose Sharks to a 1-0 victory on Sunday with a 44-save shutout, was linked to the Colorado Avalanche by Elliotte Friedman…again.
“I don’t think he’s going to be on Team Canada, but remember when I said earlier in the year if I was Colorado, that’s a guy I would be looking at,” Friedman said on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast. “And I think they’ve looked at him before.”
The Avalanche do not have a goalie with an over-.900 save-percentage. Starter Alexander Georgiev has a 4.04 goals-against average through eight games. Blackwood, in nine games, now has a 3.1 goals-against average and .910 save-percentage.
Both Blackwood and Vitek Vanecek are pending unrestricted free agents, with Yaroslav Askarov expected to take on a full-time NHL role next season. We’ll see if the Sharks look to move Blackwood or Vanecek, to a team that needs a goalie.
