Mackenzie Blackwood will start for the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday in their game with the Carolina Hurricanes
San Jose Sharks goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood blocks a shot in the third period of their NHL game at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023. SAN JOSE – Mackenzie Blackwood was about a week away from leaving Toronto and heading to the Bay Area last month for the start of training camp when he got a visit from San Jose Sharks goalie coach Thomas Speer.
So far, the Sharks are off to a better start, with Blackwood stopping 51 of 52 shots in the Sharks’ 2-1 shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. After the game, Blackwood was quick to credit his teammates for keeping most shot attempts to the perimeter, but also Speer for the work they’ve done together over the last several weeks.
Speer worked with Kahkonen last season, helping to change his game and improve his confidence. Kahkonen had a .895 save percentage in his final 18 games last season compared to a .869 mark over the first 19 games.
