2025 Fantasy Outlook
Blackwood received a career lifeline after proving his worth with the Sharks last season and early in 2024-25. The Avalanche came calling, acquiring Blackwood while offloading Alexandar Georgiev as part of a larger push to remodel the Colorado crease. Overall, Blackwood posted a 28-21-6 record with a 2.55 GAA and a .912 save percentage between the two teams. Blackwood also signed a five-year extension in December, which kicks in for 2025-26. He's been just what the Avalanche need to stabilize things between the pipes, and playing behind a team that strong makes him a No. 1 fantasy goalie as well. Blackwood will be especially valuable in formats that reward wins more heavily. Read Past Outlooks
Getting nod against St. Louis
Blackwood will be in goal for Sunday's home matchup versus St. Louis, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
ANALYSIS
Blackwood was pulled in his last start after getting torched for six goals on 19 shots in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to Vancouver. He has gone 3-3-0 with a 3.68 GAA and an .838 save percentage over his last nine outings. Scott Wedgewood got the start in a tough matchup against the Stars on Saturday, which might be an indication that Blackwood is trending toward being the No. 2 option for the postseason. As far as Sunday's matchup, the Blues are clawing to stay alive in the playoff race -- they are coming off a 6-2 win in Anaheim on Friday after losing back-to-back games.

Blackwood looks the part of a No. 1 goalie. He's athletic and smooth in the net and tracks the puck well. Blackwood delivered a 10-25-4 record in 2023-24 behind a bad Sharks squad. His 3.45 GAA was queasy, and his .899 save percentage was his third consecutive season with a sub-.900 record. It's easy to point fingers at Blackwood and say he won't help, but looking deeper, the netminder managed to deliver league-average production behind the NHL's worst team. Blackwood is in the last year of his contract, and he will be looking to prove he's the guy Mike Grier should build his team around. Fantasy-wise, he's hard to roster given the team around him, but he may offer spot value if the low-scoring Sharks can score even a few more goals.
