McElhinney starts in goal for the Blue Jackets.

McElhinney surrendered two goals on 22 shots after replacing Anton Forsberg in Saturday’s blowout loss to the Lightning. The veteran net minder is still searching for his first win of the season.

For a team averaging over four goals against in this last eight games, I would advise looking elsewhere right now.
