Mackenzie Blackwood Records First Career Shutout
6 years agoNew Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood stopped all 37 shots in Saturday's 2-0 win over Carolina to post his first career shutout. Pavel Zacha had two points -- including a short-handed goal -- in New Jersey's second consecutive win. Both have come with Blackwood between the pipes. He had 40 saves on Thursday against the Bruins to post his first career win in his second career start. At 22 years and 20 days old, Blackwood is the third-youngest goalie in franchise history to post a shutout. Keith Kinkaid has struggled with his form and Cory Schneider (abdomen) is back on the injured reserve, so the Devils have given Blackwood a shot, and he's impressed in back-to-back outings.
