Scott Wedgewood Starting Western Conference Finals for Avalanche
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood will start Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports. The 33-year-old lost his starting spot to Mackenzie Blackwood in the second round against Minnesota, but he's getting a new opportunity to re-establish himself as the No. 1. A week ago, Wedgewood helped Colorado close out the series against Minnesota with an impressive relief effort. While Wedgewood had a bumpy ride in Round 2, his overall numbers are strong in the postseason. He holds a 7-1 record with a 2.21 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage. In the regular season, Wedgewood won both of his starts against Vegas, though he gave up over three goals per game (3.38) and had a poor .854 save percentage.
