It’s game day on the second night of a back-to-back for the Colorado Avalanche as they host the St. Louis Blues, less than 24 hours after securing a 2-0 win over the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center on Sunday afternoon.

With Scott Wedgewood getting the start yesterday, Mackenzie Blackwood is expected to get the nod in this matchup. While the game may not carry major implications for the Avalanche in the standings, it represents an important opportunity for Blackwood to build confidence after the 8-6 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.

Blackwood has already proven people wrong this season. After a slow start that raised questions about his consistency, he responded with some of the strongest stretches of goaltending in his career. Now, he finds himself back in the spotlight once again, looking to deliver a solid performance and continue that upward trajectory.

We'll see what Blackwood has in store.
