Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar has two of the best goaltenders in hockey right now.

Finding just one to play in the postseason might be tricky.

Scott Wedgewood is first in the NHL in goals against average, allowing only 2.18 per game. MacKenzie Blackwood is fourth at 2.42 goals per game. Wedgewood has the No. 1 save percentage at .917 and Blackwood is a solid .905.

And while traditional thinking would say a head coach wants to lean on one goaltender for a playoff run, Jared Bednar might be going a different path. That was the question he answered after morning skate on Wednesday.

I asked Jared Bednar about the goalies, and how he sees that rotation working right now, and as we get closer to the playoffs.

“I’m keeping that plan to myself then staying flexible,” Jared Bednar said. “We’ve sort of found a rhythm to our goaltending that’s working, I don’t see why it can’t continue to work.”

Essentially, Bednar is riding the hot hand while making sure both Wedgewood and Blackwood get plenty of action. Each goaltender has a dazzling record with Wedgewood at 27-5-6 and Blackwood posting a 21-9-1 mark.

“It might be exactly how we run through the playoffs. I’m not going to conventional wisdom where it’s got to be one guy. That’s not necessarily my plan,” Bednar said.

He went on to mention if they start a goalie and he wins all the time the Avalanche will keep playing that particular net-minder.

Finally, Bednar added they like the way each of Wedgewood and Blackwood are goaltending at the moment and they want to keep both in a rhythm.

Colorado is close to clinching the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference along with the Central Division and Presidents’ Trophy, so this conversation will only heat up over the next few weeks

Some fans definitely want to see Bednar pick a goalie and stick with him while others wouldn’t mind seeing some sort of rotation come postseason time.

How it all shakes out remains to be seen, but for now Jared Bednar isn’t committing to either guy being the exclusive No. 1 goaltender.
