Blackwood experienced an MCL sprain near the start of last year and later suffered a groin injury – maladies that allowed him to play only 22 games last season after he played in just 25 the year before.“I’ve been doing it for months now into this offseason and I feel good. I feel great,” said Blackwood, who had a 19-16-6 record and a .893 save percentage over the last two years. “I think it’s going to go a long way (in the) long term for me, so I’m just excited. Trying to s...
