Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Holds on in shootout win
Blackwood made 25 saves on 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win against Montreal.
Blackwood allowed three goals in the third period as the Canadiens forced overtime, but he conceded just one tally to Patrik Laine in the shootout and made a big save against Christian Dvorak on Montreal's last attempt. With the win, Blackwood has a 25-17-6 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 49 outings this season. Saturday was the 28-year-old netminder's first win since he capped a four-game winning streak March 8. He has been frequently alternating with Scott Wedgewood in net due to Blackwood's second-half struggles, but Blackwood could see more consistent playing time if he regains form. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Tuesday at home against Detroit.

Blackwood stopped 24 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
