Wedgwood gave up three goals on 17 shots in the Coyotes loss to Vegas on Saturday. Wedgewood is more backup material, but with Antti Raanta out, he will continue to start. Wedgewood has a 3.02 GAA and .903 SV% in seven games this season and even though the Oilers have struggled this year, Wedgewood is a risky start on the road tonight.
Wedgewood stopped 23 of 25 shots in the Coyotes win over the Kings on Friday. It was a nice start for Wedgewood, who is filling in for the injured Antti Raanta again. Wedgewood has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.74 GAA and .911 SV% in four starts and two relief appearances since joining the Coyotes via trade.
Wedgewood allowed four goals on 39 shots in the Coyotes loss in Detroit last Tuesday. Antti Raanta returned to the lineup to start the last two games, but it looks like Wedgewood will start the first game of Arizona’s back-to-back. Wedgewood has stopped 63 of 70 shots (.900 SV%) since being acquired by the Coyotes.

Wedgewood allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Coyotes’ win in Philadelphia last night. It was a strong Arizona debut for the young netminder, who will start on back-to-back nights with Antti Raanta (lower-body) still on the mend. Going on back-to-back nights can be tough, but Wedgewood should be well rested and has a decent matchup in Detroit.
Wedgewood served as a backup on Saturday after being acquired from New Jersey and tonight he will make his debut in Philadelphia. The 25-year-old spent most of last season in Albany (AHL) where he was 5-3-0 with a 2.18 GAA and .912 SV%. The former third round pick will be their starter until Antti Raanta returns from injury.
Wedgewood stopped the first 25 shots he faced before giving up a goal in overtime in Friday’s 1-0 loss to the Capitals. He has been sensational since being recalled from Albany, going 2-0-1 with a 0.66 GAA, .978 SV% and one shutout. He will look to keep things rolling against a Hurricanes team on a back-to-back, that has gone 1-2-4 while averaging 2.14 goals per game in their last seven.
Wedgewood stopped all 39 shots that he faced in the Devils shutout win over the Penguins last night. Despite a heavy workload, he will start again tonight vs. the Capitals. He has won each of his first two NHL starts while sipping 66 of 67 shots (.985 SV%). He faces a Washington team that has won three of their last four.
After Thursday's game, Hynes said he was undecided on who would start after Wedgewood posted a 39-save shutout vs. the Penguins. He has stopped 66 of 67 shots since being called-up.
Wedgewood stopped 27 of 28 shots in the Devils win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday. It was an impressive NHL debut from the 23-year-old netminder, who will get a stiffer test tonight in Pittsburgh. Wedgewood was 9-2-3 with a 1.69 GAA and .928 SV% with Albany before he was recalled, but Pittsburgh comes in having won six consecutive games while averaging 4.00 goals per game.
You may have gotten a good look at Wedgewood as the starting goalie for Team Canada during the WJHC. He is probably the best internal option to replace Martin Brodeur at this juncture.
