Scott Wedgewood News: Gets starting nod Thursday

Wedgewood will guard the road goal in Columbus on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

This will be Wedgewood's fifth straight start, as Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) has yet to play and is currently on a conditioning stint with AHL Colorado. Wedgewood has had a strong start to the season, posting a 3-0-1 mark with a 1.71 GAA and a .935 save percentage. He certainly has helped his cause to play more in 2025-26 after he made only 24 regular-season appearances last year. The Blue Jackets have scored 10 goals in three games, including seven against the Wild on Saturday.
