2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wedgewood inked a two-year deal with the Preds on July 1 after racking up a 16-7-5 record, 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage with the Stars in 2023-24. He's the clear No. 2 man, sandwiched between the elite Juuse Saros and the heir apparent Yaroslav Askarov. So, what can we expect? Wedgewood would be in line for no more than 20 starts in Nashville without Askarov nipping at his heels. The Preds may want to give the kid some games. Wedgewood might be a daily option for some managers this season. Nothing more. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $3 million contract with the Predators in July of 2024. Traded to Colorado in November of 2024.
Backstops comeback win
GColorado Avalanche
April 13, 2025
Wedgewood stopped 18 of 20 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
For the fourth game in a row, Wedgewood limited an opponent to two goals. He's gone 3-0-1 in that span, ending the regular season on a positive note. Overall, he's 14-6-2 with a 2.32 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 24 appearances between the Avalanche and the Predators this season. The Avalanche are locked into a first-round series versus the Stars, but Wedgewood is unlikely to see any playing time against his former team unless Mackenzie Blackwood gets hurt or plays poorly.

After playing for three teams in 2021-22, Wedgewood found stability as the backup to Jake Oettinger in 2022-23. In that role, Wedgewood posted a 9-8-3 record, 2.72 GAA and a .915 save percentage over 21 games. While he won't get the playing time to be an option in most standard fantasy formats, Wedgewood looks like a very stable No. 2 capable of taking over the starting job in short spurts if Oettinger gets hurt. Wedgewood will also have some appeal in deeper formats thanks to his favorable team situation, which should give him a safe floor when he plays. Just don't expect much more than 20 appearances for Wedgewood if Oettinger once again stays healthy in 2023-24.
Wedgewood racked up the frequent flier miles a season ago, spending time with the Devils, Coyotes and finally the Stars. His 13-15-6 record and 3.14 GAA were nothing to write home about, but Wedgewood's .910 save percentage was quite excellent considering two of those three teams were among the worst in the entire league. Dallas re-signed Wedgewood to a one-year, $2 million contract in late June to again serve as the backup to Jake Oettinger, but as of late August, Oettinger, a restricted free agent, was yet to sign. Wedgewood's playing time in 2022-23 is entirely dependent on Oettinger's status.
Wedgewood hasn't appeared in an NHL game since the 2017-18 season and owns an ugly career 3.05 GAA and .903 save percentage in 24 appearances split between New Jersey and Arizona, but with Corey Crawford unexpectedly announcing his retirement just days before the start of the 2020-21 campaign, he's now poised to enter the year campaign as MacKenzie Blackwood's backup. Still, he won't make enough starts or play well enough when he is between the pipes to warrant fantasy consideration in standard formats.
Wedgewood saw his role within the New Jersey organization change when the Devils acquired Cory Schneider on draft day. The former Canadian world junior goalie is still attempting to establish himself as a professional netminder, spending time in both the ECHL and AHL last season. He's still a few years away from challenging for the Devils' backup job, but he's worth keeping tabs on nonetheless.
Wedgewood is one of several goaltending prospects in the New Jersey organization that the team is grooming as a possible replacement for Martin Brodeur, once the future Hall-of-Famer retires. Wedgewood was in goal for Canada during last winter's World Junior Championships but his numbers in the Ontario Hockey League leave a bit to be desired. The youngster posted a 3.02 goals-against average with a .911 save percentage en route to a 28-10-3 record for Plymouth. Wedgewood will battle with Keith Kinkaid and Jeff Frazee for starts at Albany (AHL) as the Devils have Brodeur and Johan Hedberg at the NHL level for the next two years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely starting Monday
GColorado Avalanche
March 31, 2025
Wedgewood will likely draw the home start against the Flames on Monday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Wedgewood hasn't appeared in any of Colorado's last four games, but he'll return to the net against a favorable opponent Monday, as the Flames are averaging just 2.60 goals per game this year, which is the third-worst mark in the league. Wedgewood has picked up wins in each of his last five starts, posting a 1.40 GAA and .939 save percentage during that time.
