Wedgewood allowed four goals on 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth. Wedgewood has allowed exactly four goals in both of his overtime losses this season, as well as exactly one goal against in each of his five wins.

Scott Wedgewood stopped 13 of 14 shots as the Avs completely dismantled the Boston Bruins on Saturday night at Ball Arena to move to 5-0-1. Wedgewood, getting a chance to play regularly that he has so often craved, has allowed one goal in five of those six games.

Not only is Colorado superior offensively and defensively, but it also has the goaltending edge. Once again, this is not an indictment of Karel Vejmelka, who is slated to start for Utah. Rather, it’s a testament to Scott Wedgewood, who has been one of the league’s best netminders this season.

In breaking down Colorado's fast start, Nathan MacKinnon got to the point about as quick as he moves along the ice. “Our lineup," the speedy forward said, “is really good.” The Avalanche (5-0-1) have recorded at least a point in all six games this season.

Necas was visibly frustrated a few times. He drove to the net in the second period and felt he was hooked or slashed, but there was no call. His stick broke during a puck battle, and he thought there should have been an infraction there as well.

DENVER — Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood has been named the NHL’s Third Star of the Week for the week ending on Oct. 19. Wedgewood had a dominant three-game stretch that helped extend Colorado's season-opening point streak to six games.

The Colorado Avalanche face the Utah Mammoth Tuesday in a Central Division tussle at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The others that were named the second and third stars of the week for October 13 were Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel and Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood. Larkin, Eichel, and Wedgewood are helping lead their teams to the top of the NHL standings so far this year and it is quite a sight.
