Scott Wedgewood can hear your chants.

Avalanche faithful at Ball Arena make sure of it whenever their playoff goaltender makes a big save. It rang out plenty Tuesday night with a bounce-back performance against the Wild in Game 2 of the second-round playoff matchup. Wedgewood made 29 stops in a decisive 5-2 win over Minnesota to take a 2-0 series lead.

Cue the fans: Wedgie! Wedgie! Wedgie!

“I love it,” Wedgie told a large crowd of reporters postgame, surrounding his locker stall. “I may have found a home here.”

The Avalanche have won six in a row to begin the NHL playoffs, in large part, because of stellar goaltending. Coach Jared Bednar opted to start Wedgewood this postseason after he began the regular season splitting time as Mackenzie Blackwood’s backup. Wedgewood has responded with six consecutive wins and a .923 save percentage in the playoffs.

“He’s been unbelievable for us,” forward Nicolas Roy said. “You can feel the confidence that he’s got, and it bleeds through the lineup.”

Yet a change in net seemed possible after a Game 1 debacle. The Wild scored six times on 36 shots. Wedgewood finished it out in a nine-goal crapshoot victory for Colorado. He later reflected on what went wrong and what changed in a much cleaner Game 2 performance.

“I was wearing three different combos of skates (in Game 1). I was dealing with some issues and fixed it,” Wedgewood said. “I trusted my feet so much. To have a little bit cleaner flow and feel comfortable down there just eased my mind. … I can just read it, buzz, and trust a little bit more movement.”

He added: “After the last game, I would have liked to make two or three of those (saves). But some days you don’t have it. Credit to a great team. They bailed me out when they needed to.”

Bednar described the response from Wedgewood as “really impressive” ahead of Game 3 on Saturday in Minnesota.

“Game 1 obviously wasn’t a good game from him,” Bednar continued. “But I’m gonna group him into the rest of our team on the defending side. We left him hung out to dry a couple times. Gave up way too many high-danger chances. But we gave everyone else on our roster a chance to sort of respond and bounce back. I felt like it was the right call to go back with him and give him that opportunity.

“I think he’s earned it — and he did.”

Wedgewood certainly has the respect of Wild coach John Hynes. He was the New Jersey head coach in 2015-16 when Wedgewood made his NHL debut for the Devils. Hynes is now tasked with figuring out how to beat his former goalie.

“He was one of those guys coming up that was trying to make his mark between the American League and the NHL,” Hynes said Tuesday after morning skate at Ball Arena. “He’s got a great work ethic. A tremendous competitor, a great personality, and he was hungry. You could see that he had talent. But I also think he had the drive … to work his way up and compete. Now, you see him. He’s worked into a great career for himself. Now, he’s a top goalie on a top team.

“So, it’s been good to see his rise to where he is now. I couldn’t be happier for him.”

Wedgewood has the confidence of 18,000-plus chanting his name at home.

“When they get going there, and are behind me, it’s obviously a nice boost for my own ego,” Wedgewood said.
