Elvis Merzlikins, Blue Jackets blank Devils for 6th win in row

  • Elvis Merzlikins, Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender, earned his first shutout on Feb. 3 in Newark, helping his team defeat the New Jersey Devils 3-0.
  • After a coach's challenge showed Miles Wood entered Jakob Markstrom's crease, Dante Fabbro returned from a six-game absence and scored at 5:24 of the third.
  • Mathieu Olivier, Columbus Blue Jackets forward, scored a highlight-reel backhand breakaway at 12:05 of the third and added an empty-net goal with 4 minutes left after Nico Hischer hit the post.
  • With the win, the Columbus Blue Jackets improved to 10-1-0 in their past 11 games on Tuesday, extending their streak to six wins.
  • The Devils host the Islanders on Thursday in their final pre-Olympic game, and the team is uncertain about Hughes's potential return despite team statements.
