Wedgewood’s Status Still Unclear: ‘I’m Guessing It’s Going To Be Week-To-Week’
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Scott Wedgewood’s status is still unclear but it doesn’t sound, as of now, that it’s as bad as initially thought.
Head coach Jared Bednar gave an update following the Avalanche’s Friday practice, saying the goalie is still being evaluated after suffering a lower-body injury in Thursday’s 6-5 OT victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
“I’m guessing it’s going to be week-to-week,” Bednar said.
The team is hoping he avoided a high ankle sprain, which would keep him out for around six weeks. Wedgewood was present at practice and, unlike postgame, was not wearing a walking boot.

Bednar said the team will call up Trent Miner to back up Mackenzie Blackwood. While Colorado’s starter is going to get the brunt of the workload, Miner will start one of Colorado’s back-to-back games at Chicago and Minnesota next week.
It’ll be Miner’s first career NHL start.
