Exclusive Injury Update: Scott Wedgewood Exits Early
Scott Wedgewood was pulled for precautionary reasons, but Jared Bednar provided some insight into the issue.
thehockeynews.comHere are the latest notable updates I could verify about Scott Wedgewood:
- December 2025 update: Wedgewood left a Colorado Avalanche game early with an upper-body issue and was listed as a precautionary pull. The team indicated it didn’t appear to be a serious injury at that time, and he was set to be evaluated in the following days. This was reported by The Hockey News.
- April 2026 update: Wedgewood was highlighted for strong play down the stretch, including a 2-1 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings in Game 2 of a playoff-related sequence, with him posting solid regular-season numbers (notably a 2.02 GAA and .921 save percentage across the season). RotoWire commented that he was likely to start in subsequent games as the primary option for Colorado.
What this means in brief:
- Wedgewood has been a key performer for the Avalanche, with injuries monitored but not described as major in the most recent reports, and he has been trusted for important games as a top goaltender option.
