Blackwood carries workload uncertainty into back-to-back at Calgary
Mackenzie Blackwood and the Colorado Avalanche head into Scotiabank Saddledome tonight to take on the Calgary Flames in the second leg of a road back-to-back. Blackwood operates as the primary starter in Colorado's crease tandem and has posted a solid 2.67 GAA and two victories across his last three outings. While there are no fresh injury concerns surrounding the netminder, Colorado's condensed travel schedule is a major factor after yesterday's stop in Winnipeg. The 2-1-0 Avalanche enter as road favorites in what projects as a higher-scoring environment.
With Colorado playing on consecutive nights, our daily projection gives Blackwood a low fantasy expectation with win chances uncertain and light projected save volume. Our projections anticipate a breather rather than heavy crease duties tonight, making his ratios volatile if called upon unexpectedly. Looking across Colorado's three-game weekly slate, the Avalanche have just one remaining matchup after tonight when they host Toronto. Fantasy managers should monitor starting confirmations, but with minimal projected workload this evening, he is best reserved. Today’s action: Bench.
