Mackenzie Blackwood Looks To End Losing Run
4 years agoNew Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood is expected to start against Pittsburgh on Sunday. It will be his second consecutive start against the Penguins after he gave up five goals on 26 shots in Friday's 6-4 loss. Blackwood has allowed five goals in back-to-back appearances, and he sits on a four-game losing streak ahead of Sunday's action. He's won only nine of 23 starts this season with a 3.02 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage and one shutout. Blackwood has beaten the Penguins once this year, but it's very difficult to repeat the feat. Tristan Jarry gets the nod from Pittsburgh, entering the contest with a 16-8-2 record.
