Not how he drew it up, but one he’ll remember for a long time.

Colorado Avalanche goalie Scott Wedgewood, bottom, reaches for a loose puck with defenseman Calvin de Haan, left, and right wing Nikolai Kovalenko, back, during the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo, N.Y., Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024. BUFFALO, N.Y. — After a whirlwind few days, Scott Wedgewood’s plan for Wednesday was to get in a good, hard morning skate and settle in to watch his new team play the Buffalo Sabres.

“Funny enough, I went in for Arizona when I got traded the second time around and I got my first win against Seattle,” Wedgewood said. “We were down early, I went in and we found a way to get my first win.The Avalanche traded Justus Annunen and a 2025 sixth-round pick Saturday to the Nashville Predators. Nashville was in Minnesota, and Wedgewood was scheduled to start the second game of a back-to-back. Instead, he woke up and flew to Denver and joined the Avs in time to watch from the bench.

“We had like an hour-and-10-minute skate this morning to try and get the adrenaline back. … I was feeling it a little bit in the third, but credit to the guys.” That was on display in his first game for his new team. On multiple occasions, there was a mad scramble around the Colorado net. Wedgewood fought off one puck with shoulder, then spun and did a snow angel on the ice. He made another desperate save with his skate blade while lunging to his left.Avalanche Journal: Final roster projections for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off
