Elvis Merzlikins, Blue Jackets blank Devils for 6th win in row
Elvis Merzlikins made 24 saves for his first shutout as Columbus extended their season-best winning streak to six games with a 3-0 win over New Jersey.
- Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night, Elvis Merzlikins made 23 saves for his first shutout as the team beat the Devils 3-0, extending their winning streak to six games.
- After a scoreless first two periods, Dante Fabbro returned from a six-game absence and scored in the third, while Mathieu Olivier added two goals, including a breakaway and an empty-netter.
- After a review, a first-period goal was overturned after a coach's challenge for goaltender interference involving Miles Wood and Jakob Markstrom.
- With the streak, Columbus now has a 10-1-0 record in their past 11 games and can reach 11-1-0 by winning against Chicago on Feb. 4 at Nationwide Arena.
- Facing injuries, the Devils played without Jack Hughes, New Jersey center, who could return Thursday but is not optimistic about playing against the Islanders.
