COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Blue Jackets announced goaltender Elvis Merzlikins has been taken off the injured reserve.
General Manager and Alternate Governor Jarmo Kekalainen made the announcement on Friday.
The 27-year-old goalie missed a total of three games after suffering a lower-body injury against the Chicago Blackhawks last week.
Merzlikins has an 18-13-1 record this season with a 3.42 goals-against average, a .903 save percentage and two shutouts in 32 games this season.
The club assigned goalie Jet Greaves to the Cleveland Monsters, the team's American Hockey League affiliate.
