Yesterday, the Columbus Blue Jackets made a move, putting 28-year-old goaltender Spencer Martin on waivers. The Jackets aimed to assign him to the American Hockey League while exploring trade options for Elvis Merzļikins.
The Oakville, Ontario native has played in 13 games for the Blue Jackets, holding a record of 3-8-1 with a 3.65 goals against average and an .887 save percentage.
With an injury sidelining Pyotr Kochetkov, the Hurricanes find themselves in a goalie pinch, and Martin's acquisition could provide the needed support.
