Head coach Jared Bednar admitted after the game that it’s not ideal to have to lean on the goalie as much as they did against the Utah Mammoth on Thursday.
But when you don’t have your legs — when you’re fighting through it — it’s nice to know you have someone who can stop the puck.
Last season, the Avs had the offense. They were scoring goals at will in the first few games of the year, but the goalies were letting them down. This was a nice change. It was the polar opposite, and it’s insane to sit back and realize that there’s still another guy who makes nearly four times as much as Wedgewood to be the starter.
Things are looking up between the pipes. Wedgewood was the most popular man in front of $18,000+ fans.
He was also receiving all the kudos in the locker room from his teammates after the game.
