Columbus Blue Jackets in review: 5 galling collapses that helped define their 2023-24 season
There's been a lot of drama this season from the Mike Babcock debacle to the yo-yoing of David Jiricek between the NHL and the American Hockey League (AHL), the firing of Jarmo Kekelainen, and the trade request by starting goalie Elvis Merzlikins. While it's a bit murky if a trade request was ever actually issued or if it was all just a miscommunication that was lost in translation, the tension between Merzlikins and management still became a national story.
Alexandre Texier and Damon Severson scored in the shootout and the Columbus Blue Jackets broke a six-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. Kirill Marchenko and Zach Werenski scored third-period goals as Columbus rallied from a two-goal deficit. Mathieu Olivier also scored and Elvis Merzlikins made 30 saves to beat Pittsburgh for the first time in his career.
