COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Columbus Blue Jackets have waived backup goalie Curtis McElhinney after a disastrous weekend performance.
To replace McElhinney, Columbus recalled 24-year-old Anton Forsberg from the Cleveland Monsters of the AHL. If the 33-year-old McElhinney clears waivers, he’ll be sent to Cleveland.
McElhinney was in goal on Saturday night when the Blue Jackets fell to the New York Rangers, who rallied from a 4-1 deficit and scored the winning goal with 17 seconds left. Before that, he was 2-0-2 this season starting in place of Sergei Bobrovsky.
Winger Markus Hannikainen also was sent to Cleveland as part of the transaction Monday.
McElhinney is signed through this season.
