Mackenzie Blackwood grew up dreaming of playing for the Avalanche, and now he's making franchise history while establishing himself as one of Colorado's most important players.
Mackenzie Blackwood earned his seventh shutout with the Colorado Avalanche in a 4-0 victory against the Detroit Red Wings at Ball Arena. The performance marked his 18th career NHL shutout and placed him in a tie for sixth on the Avalanche's all-time shutout list alongside Alexandar Georgiev and Craig Anderson.
A childhood Avalanche fan from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Blackwood holds a 9-3-1 record through 14 games this season. He previously joined franchise icons Patrick Roy and Darcy Kuemper as the only goaltenders in team history to record multiple sets of consecutive shutouts.
