Colorado Avalanche netminder Mackenzie Blackwood has a 2.41 goals against average this season and made 27 saves in a 3-2 victory over the Rangers two weeks ago

Blackwood made 33 saves in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rangers. Despite the fast-paced nature of the contest, the 28-year-old netminder helped keep Colorado in the driver's seat for the majority of the game.

It’s become a pattern now — the Colorado Avalanche look like the better team for the better part of the first 40 minutes and then the final period is a problem.

Another night, and another round of emotions while dealing with the NHL’s greatest, or worst, mystery box — goaltender interference.

The Colorado Avalanche, perennial Stanley Cup contenders, are at a pivotal juncture in the 2024-25 NHL season. With the recent acquisition of goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood and ongoing speculation about a potential trade for Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones, the Avalanche’s odds of winning the Stanley Cup have improved.

Blackwood stopped 23 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

Some of the issues that looked fixed two days ago in a decisive win against the Dallas Stars were again troubling for the Colorado Avalanche in a loss to the Minnesota Wild.

Over the weekend, the Colorado Avalanche dealt Mikko Rantanen and address just one of the team's many problems.
