San Jose Sharks goalie Mackenzie Blackwood is hoping a small addition to his offseason training regimen can make a positive impact on his health after he went through another injury-plagued year with the New Jersey Devils this past season.Blackwood, acquired by the Sharks from the Devils last week, began to practice yoga and is also trying out Pilates to help avoid some of the soft tissue injuries that have caused him to miss a significant amount of time since the start of the 2021-2022 season. 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...
