Making his San Jose Sharks debut, Mackenzie Blackwood made 31 saves in the first two periods of Saturday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche at SAP Center
San Jose Sharks goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood blocks a shot by Colorado Avalanche’s Logan O’Connor in the first period of their NHL game at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023. But for anyone who has watched the Sharks over the last two-plus seasons, the end result, despite Blackwood’s brilliance, was all too familiar.
Conversely, Alexander Barabanov, William Eklund, and Mike Hoffman all failed in their shootout attempts to beat Colorado goalie Alexandar Georgiev, who finished with 20 saves.San Jose Sharks goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood stretches to block a shot by Colorado Avalanche’s Cale Makar in the third period of their NHL game at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023.
Blackwood, acquired this summer from the New Jersey Devils, made 31 saves in the first two periods, including nine on the penalty kill, as the Sharks dropped to 0-1-1 on the season. “Going down to five defensemen against that team, that’s a lot of minutes for your d-corps,” Quinn said. “That’s probably one of the reasons they were so dominant in the third period. Our defenseman looked tired.”
The goal came in Bordeleau’s 18th career NHL game. He played in eight games toward the end of the 2021-22 season shortly after he turned pro following two years at Michigan, and in eight more last season. Blackwood figured to be under siege Saturday considering some of the games the Sharks have played against the Avalanche in recent years.
