The Columbus Blue Jackets traveled to NYC to face the New York Islanders in a match that wasn’t exactly packed with thrills. If anything, it was full of chills – Zach Werenski was injured early in the game, the Isles were their usual physical and opportunistic selves, and the offense couldn’t get on the board.
Here are the details:
Elvis Merzlikins was given the start after Joonas Korpisalo played the previous night against the Pens. In theory, it’s good to have the back up play against the relatively weaker offensive team in New York.
