Wedgewood's Playoff Heroics: Backup Goalie Steals Show

Cam Wedgewood, a 33-year-old goalie for the Colorado Avalanche, has been a standout this season with a 2.02 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage. After starting every playoff game against the Los Angeles Kings, he helped sweep the series. Wedgewood, who switched from defense due to his brothers need for a goalie, was drafted by New Jersey in 2010 and traded to Colorado last November. He shares a tight friendship with Mackenzie Blackwood and won the William M. Jennings Trophy for the leagues stingiest defense. Wedgewoods steady presence has been crucial for the Avalanche, who allowed the fewest goals in the regular season. Now, as he awaits the Minnesota-Dallas series, Wedgewood continues to excel both on and off the ice, balancing his goalie grind with family life after welcoming his second daughter this year.
