Mackenzie Blackwood Puts Halt To Losing Streak
4 years agoNew Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood put an end to a personal six-game losing streak on Tuesday night, backstopping his team to a 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. The 24-year-old allowed a pair of second-period goals but battled back to turn aside 33 of 35 total shots against in the contest. It's been tough sledding for the entire Devils team since missing extended time due to a Covid outbreak but Blackwood has still been able to showcase at times that he's worthy of consideration as a second or third fantasy goaltender. He'll carry a 6-8-1 record, a 3.05 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage into his next start versus the Penguins on Thursday.
