The Columbus Blue Jackets have secured Sergei Bobrovsky's backup.
The team signed goaltender Curtis McElhinney to a two-year contract extension, general manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced Wednesday.
Correction: McElhinney's contract is two years, $1.6M total, NOT $1.7M. It's $800K in each of the two seasons. #CBJ
