THW's Goalie News: Hart's Tribute & More
Monday night’s National Hockey League schedule gave us some intriguing matchups and made things even tighter in already ready close playoff race. We had a successful return in Philadelphia and a grudge match in Columbus. Also, we will look back at a big milestone for one of the all-time greats. Hart Honors Emery in Return Carter Hart returned to the crease on Monday night after missing the last nine games due to an abdominal strain he suffered in practice on Jan. 15. He made 30 saves in a huge 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers, pushing the Philadelphia Flyers into the second Eastern Conference wild card spot. "It was nice to get back out there,” Hart said from a victorious locker room. “It's not fun when you're just watching from the side, so it felt really good to get back out there with the boys and get a huge two points. "Maybe a couple shots and I was good to go. I kind of did all the work in practice with our coaches and our staff to make sure we did any...

Blue Jackets Need to Make Season-Defining Decision
We now continue our month-long series on the Columbus Blue Jackets and the NHL Trade Deadline. In part one, we discussed why the Toronto Maple Leafs make a perfect trading partner. In part two, we explored why the Blue Jackets have reasons they could trade Josh Anderson. Today, we get right to the heart of the matter. If you saw the game Saturday night, you saw the glaring need the Blue Jackets have. A Quick Recap The Blue Jackets carried a 1-0 lead into the third period thanks to their lock-down defense and Elvis Merzlikins. Then they came out and played their best period of the weekend to start. They dominated possession. They had several chances to make it 2-0. But they couldn't beat Philipp Grubauer. Then in a flash, it all changed. A turnover and a blast flipped the game from 1-0 to 2-1 in what seemed like a heartbeat. Although the Blue Jackets made a push at the end, they couldn't get a tying goal. A familiar theme reared its ugly head. Even Elvis Merzlikins...

THW's Goalie News: Merzlikin's Streak, Andersen Update & More
Friday night’s National Hockey League schedule was a bit on the light side as we head into a busy weekend. However, a rookie netminder made all kinds of history in Ohio. There was also a successful debut in Toronto to go along with an injury update. Elvis is King of Rookie Goaltenders Elvis Merzlikins wasn’t called upon very often on Friday night, but when he was, he was there to make the save. He stopped all 16 shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings as the Columbus Blue Jackets improved to 9-0-1 in their last 10 games. Since Jan. 11, Merzlikins is 8-0-0 with a sterling 1.00 goals-against average (GAA), a .967 save percentage (SV%) and five shutouts. The winning streak is the longest by a rookie goaltender in Blue Jackets’ history and the longest by any first-year netminder this season.
