Scott Wedgewood News

Wedgewood gave up three goals on 17 shots in the Devils' loss to the Flyers on Thursday. New Jersey dominated the game but were unable to get timely saves from Wedgewood, who has now lost three of his first starts wile posting a 2.80 GAA and .900 SV%. On Saturday he will face a sabres team that has been very competitive to start the season, opening at 3-3-2 while averaging 2.75 goals per game (19th).

Wedgewood surrendered four goals on 30 shots in the Devils loss to the Flyers on Tuesday. It was a tough way to follow up a shutout and moved Wedgewood to 1-2-0 with a 2.70 GAA and .914 SV% since taking over for Mackenzie Blackwood (COVID-19 protocol). Tonight he faces the Flyers again, and so far this season they are 4-2-1 and at tied for sixth in the NHL in goal-scoring (3.57 GF/gm).

Wedgewood stopped all 28 shots that he faced in the Devils' shutout win over the Islanders on Sunday. It was a terrific bounce-back performance from Wedgewood, who struggled a bit in his season debut a few nights prior. Tonight he'll face a Flyers team that is dealing with a few injuries and have lost three of their last four games.

Wedgewood was recalled to serve as Linus Ullmark’s backup on Saturday with Carter Hutton sidelined. Hutton will return as the backup on Tuesday, so Wedgewood heads back to the AHL.

Wedgewood has gone 8-4-0 with a 2.91 GAA and .907 SV% in 14 games with Rochester this season. With Carter Hutton out with an upper-body injury, look for Wedgewood to backup Linus Ullmark on Saturday.
