Selected in the third round of the 2013 NHL Draft, Martin joined Columbus last summer with hopes of securing a significant role, especially after taking a hiatus in Vancouver over the past two years.
Regrettably, his performance this season has not lived up to expectations. With a 3.65 goals-against average (GAA) and an .887 save percentage in 13 games played, Martin has found himself on shaky ground.
