"Wedgewood has seen stops with the Nashville Predators, New Jersey Devils, Arizona Coyotes, and Dallas Stars. For the most part, he has been the backup but now he has earned the right to shine between the pipes for the Avalanche. He was traded by the Predators to the Avalanche for goaltender Justus Annunen and a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. He has been nothing short of amazing during his time in Colorado."
"As a team, Colorado is 5-0-1 for 11 points and is one point ahead of teh Carolina Hurricanes for the top overall spot. The team defense has also been amazing in the early going. Their team goals against average of 1.50 is first in the league, penalty kill is seventh (87.5), 24.2 shots against per game is fifth, and their nine goals against total this season ranks second in the league."
Scott Wedgewood transitioned from a career backup to Colorado's starting goaltender, delivering exceptional early-season performance. He previously played for the Nashville Predators, New Jersey Devils, Arizona Coyotes, and Dallas Stars and was traded to Colorado for Justus Annunen and a 2025 sixth-round pick. This season he is 5-0-1 with a 1.48 goals against average and a .938 save percentage. His 1.48 GAA ranks fourth, five wins rank first, 136 saves rank second, .938 save percentage ranks sixth, and 364:18 on-ice time ranks first. Colorado is 5-0-1, leads the league in team GAA (1.50), and ranks highly in penalty kill and shots against. Whether this level can be sustained remains uncertain.
