Blue Jackets' Curtis McElhinney: Between posts Saturday

McElhinney will start in net Saturday against the Coyotes.

Analysis:

After a five-game layoff, McElhinney will draw into the lineup in place of Sergei Bobrovsky to make his fourth start of the season. In the netminder's three appearances in 2016-17, he's gone 0-2-2 with a 2.09 GA and .925 save percentage. He'll look to add a tally to the win column when he faces a Coyotes offensive unit that ranks 28th in goals scored (52).
