With his shutout win against the Seattle Kraken, Scott Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood have secured the William M.Jennings Trophy, as the goals (min. 25 games played) for the team with the fewest goals against during the regular season. The last time an Avalanche has won the trophy was Patrick Roy, back during the 2001-02 season.

Avalanche Close Regular Season With 2-0 Shutout Over The Kraken

Avalanche Close Regular Season With 2-0 Shutout Over The Kraken The Avalanche finish the 2025-26 season strong as they shutout the Seattle Kraken 2-0.

It was career seasons for both goaltenders, as they had some pretty high stakes entering the season. They showed some good potential when they were acquired last season, but this was something else from both of them, especially Wedgewood.

For Blackwood, it was a season that had a lot of highs and lows for him. Finishing with a record of 23-10-2, a save percentage (SV%) of .904%, and a goals against average (GAA) of 2.51, it wasn't a bad season by any means, but in his first season under a new contract, there were moments when we expected more from him. While he did deal with some injuries that kept him out of some stretches during the regular season, it wasn’t a bad season by any means.

Though it does help when your tandem partner is also having a career, and by all means, a Vezina-esc season. Wedgewood earned a contract extension that starts next season, with a cap hit of $2.5 million, but given the numbers he put up this season, it might look like a steal. With career highs across the board, he finished with a record of 31-6-6 with a .921 SV% and a 2.02 GAA.
