Mackenzie Blackwood started for the Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 but was pulled after conceding three goals in the first period, including two from Nick Foligno. Scott Wedgewood took over as the Avalanche trailed 3-0, aiming to close out the playoff series at home for the first time in over 18 years. Blackwood had previously secured a victory in Game 4 but struggled early in this game. If the Avalanche lose, they will head back to Minnesota for Game 6 on Friday night.
