Anton Khudobin and Ben Bishop are out for the season and Braden Holtby is currently banged up, so the Stars acquired Wedgewood to serve as Jake Oettinger's backup. The move suggests that Holtby could be out long-term. Wedgewood has had an up-and-down season in Arizona, going 1012-2 with a 3.16 GAA and .911 SV% in 26 games (23 starts).

Wedgewood did not travel to Vancouver with the team after suffering an upper-body injury in Monday's practice. With Wedgewood out, Ivan Prosvetov was recalled from Tucson (AHL) and will likely serve as Karel Vejmelka's backup on Tuesday.

Wedgewood allowed five goals on 37 shots in the Coyotes loss in Minnesota last Tuesday. Wedgewood enjoyed a hot stretch after joining the Coyotes, going 3-1-1 with a .940 SV%, but the tires have fallen off a bit recently. Wedgewood has lost three in a row with a 4.04 GAA and .890 SVS%.
