He recorded one assist, three shots on goal, and a minus-one in the trio of appearances. Those marks bring Ahcan up to two points in nine NHL games this season. He also leads the AHL\u2019s Colorado Eagles defense in scoring with 24 points in 29 games. The 28 year old has proven a reliable utility-knife down Colorado\u2019s depth chart. He will return to a minor-league role and stay a top call-up option for the next time the Avalanche are in need.<\/p>\n<p>Posch did not play with the Avalanche on what was the first call-up of his pro career. He has recorded a 12-5-5 record and .902 save percentage in 20 games as an AHL rookie this season.<\/p>\n<p>Wedgewood missed Colorado\u2019s last two games on his personal leave.

Wedgewood has earned the lion\u2019s share of Colorado\u2019s starts this season, while Blackwood recovered from injury. He\u00a0 has recorded a dazzling 20-3-5 record and .918 save percentage in 30 games, both just better than Blackwood\u2019s 14-3-1 record and .911 Sv%. The two will continue to operate as one of the best one-two-punches in the league now that Wedgewood is back with the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Goaltender Scott Wedgewood is back with the Colorado Avalanche after welcoming the birth of his second child.
