Curtis McElhinney will be in goal for Columbus Thursday night

Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Curtis McElhinney will be the Blue Jackets' starter Thursday night.

What It Means:

Despite having decent numbers, McElhinney will be looking for his first win of the campaign.

Serving as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup, McElhinney has a 2.58 goals against average and .912 save percentage in five contests. Our projections for tonight don't flatter him. We see him allowing 3.02 goals on 30.75 shots with just a 37 percent chance of getting the win.
