Picks up win Martin stopped 26 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact What a start for Martin in his Hurricanes debut. He stood tall against the mighty Bruins, keeping them at bay for two periods, saving all 15 shots, until Brad Marchand scored back-to-back goals in the final period to make it 2-2. Jordan Martinook eventually scored the game winner to seal the win for Carolina. Martin finished with .929 save percentage and kicked out all four power-play shots by Boston. After being claimed on waivers from Columbus, Martin is doing his best to stick with Carolina as the backup to Antti Raanta.

Making team debut Martin will guard the road goal versus the Bruins on Wednesday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Martin will make his Hurricanes debut Wednesday, though he'll have a tough matchup. The 28-year-old went a poor 3-8-1 with a 3.65 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 13 games before he was waived by Columbus on Thursday and claimed by Carolina a day later. Martin figures to back up Antti Raanta until Fredeirk Andersen (blood clotting issue) or Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) is ready to return to the crease.

Claimed by Carolina The Hurricanes claimed Martin off waivers from Columbus on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact The Hurricanes need goaltender help as Frederik Andersen has been out of action since Nov. 2 -- a span of 32 games -- with a blood clotting issue, while Pyotr Kochetkov is currently in concussion protocol. Antti Raanta is currently the No. 1 goaltender with Yaniv Perets as his backup. Look for Martin, who was 3-8-1 with a 3.65 GAA and an .887 save percentage with lowly Columbus, to backup Raanta until one of Kochetkov or Andersen are ready to return to action. In the meantime, expect the Hurricanes to send Perets to the minors.

Bounced by Boston Martin stopped 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.

Impact He held Boston off the board in the first period, but Martin got caught by surprise on a Kevin Shattenkirk shot from distance early in the second period, and the Bruins never looked back. It was Martin's first start in almost a month, although he did notch a relief win last Friday, and he's fallen to third on the Blue Jackets' depth chart since Daniil Tarasov (illness) rejoined the NHL roster. On the season, Martin is 3-8-1 with a 3.65 GAA and .887 save percentage.

Guarding goal against Bruins Martin will protect the home goal Tuesday versus Boston, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Impact Martin, who will start for the first time since Dec. 7, gave up three goals on 19 shots in a 6-5 overtime win over Toronto on Dec. 29 during a relief appearance. He has provided a 3-7-1 record this season with a 3.62 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 12 games played. The Bruins rank 15th in the league with 3.20 goals per contest this campaign.

Gets win in relief Friday Martin stopped 16 of 19 shots after replacing Elvis Merzlikins (illness) to begin the second period of Friday's 6-5 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Two of Toronto's three goals against Martin came on power plays, and the 28-year-old netminder held the Leafs off the board completely in the third period to help force OT. Martin hadn't been in the crease at all since Dec. 7 due to the return of Daniil Tarasov and hadn't picked up a win since Nov. 27, but Columbus has been reluctant to expose him to waivers and risk losing the goaltending depth. On the season, Martin has a 3-7-1 record with a 3.62 GAA and .889 save percentage.

Shelled by Isles Martin gave up seven goals on 36 shots (.806 save percentage) in Thursday's 7-3 rout at the hands of the Islanders.

Impact Martin has underwhelmed this season, going 1-6-1 in his last eight contests while posting a 3.74 GAA. With Columbus heading into a back-to-back, Jet Greaves figures to get the nod against the Blues on Friday but it will be Martin who sees the bulk of the workload while Elvis Merzlikins (illness) is on injured reserve.

In goal Thursday Martin will get the starting nod on the road against the Islanders on Thursday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Martin has managed just one win in his last seven contests, posting a 1-5-1 record, 3.26 GAA and .898 save percentage. With the Blue Jackets heading into a back-to-back and Elvis Merzlikins (illness) unavailable, Jet Greaves figures to play versus the Blues on Friday. Once Merzlikins is back, Martin figures to resume his duties as the No. 2 option for Columbus.

Stunned by natty hatty Martin allowed three goals on 28 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Martin put together a strong effort through two periods, but Brad Marchand bested him three times in 5:50 early in the third to flip the game around. The 28-year-old Martin has been just fine as a backup for the Blue Jackets this season, but with Daniil Tarason (knee) inching closer to a return, the team will have to make a decision in the crease soon. Martin is 2-6-1 with a 3.20 GAA and a .902 save percentage behind a weak team, so he could benefit if he switches organizations via trade or waivers in the near future. If he's still with Columbus by the end of the week, he'll likely make his next start either Thursday against the Islanders or Friday versus the Blues.

Starting Sunday Martin will guard the road net Sunday against the Bruins, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Martin was sharp in his last outing, turning aside 31 shots in a 5-2 win over the Bruins. The 28-year-old netminder is 2-5-1 with a .903 save percentage this season. Martin will face Boston again Sunday, who are coming off a 4-3 overtime win versus Toronto on Saturday.

Kicks aside 31 saves in win Martin allowed just two goals on 33 shots in Monday's 5-2 win against the Bruins.

Impact The matchup didn't look terribly favorable on paper, but the heavy underdog Blue Jackets turned the tables on the first-place Bruins, getting off to a 4-0 start to give Martin more than enough offensive support before he was finally beaten midway through the third period. The 28-year-old Ontarian slapped the brakes on a four-game personal losing streak since his last win on Oct. 20 against the Flames.

Facing Boston Martin will patrol the home crease Monday against the Bruins, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Impact Martin has stopped 136 of 153 shots during his five-game (0-4-1) winless skid. He will get the second half of Columbus' back-to-back after Elvis Merzlikins played in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Carolina. Martin has a 1-5-1 record this season with a 3.37 GAA and an .898 save percentage through eight games played. Boston ranks 12th in the league this campaign with 3.40 goals per contest.

Gets no help against Philly Martin turned aside 22 of 26 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Philadelphia's final goal was scored into an empty net. Martin had clean looks at the first two shots to get by him, but in general this result was more on the Columbus defense than the netminder -- the Flyers' third goal came on a two-on-nothing breakaway for Ryan Poehling and Garnet Hathaway that Martin still almost denied. The 28-year-old goalie has gone 0-4-1 over his last five starts with a 3.54 GAA and .889 save percentage, but with Daniil Tarasov (knee) still lacking a clear timetable for his return, Martin should remain the backup to Elvis Merzlikins for now.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Philadelphia Martin will guard the road goal Sunday against the Flyers, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Impact Martin has permitted 13 goals on 128 shots during his four-game winless skid (0-3-1). In seven contests this campaign, he has posted a 1-4-1 record with a 3.26 GAA and a .905 save percentage. Philadelphia is tied for 16th in the league this campaign with 3.24 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Loses fourth straight Martin made 23 saves in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Goals came in bunches against Martin, as he got beaten twice in under a minute early in the first period and twice in just over two minutes late in the second. The 28-year-old netminder has lost his last four decisions, going 0-3-1 over that stretch, and on the season he's 1-4-1 with a 3.26 GAA and .905 save percentage -- numbers that should ensure Elvis Merzlikins is back between the pipes Sunday against the Rangers.

Facing Red Wings Martin will occupy the visiting crease versus Detroit on Saturday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact This will be the third straight start for Martin, who is 1-3-1 this season with a 2.90 GAA and .918 save percentage. Martin will face the Red Wings, who are 4-4-2 at home and have scored 50 goals and 14 games this season.

Falls to Dallas Martin allowed four goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Stars.

Impact After the Blue Jackets jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, Martin surrendered four straight goals before the Stars added an empty-netter in a 5-2 defeat. Martin had been playing well coming into Thursday's contest, posting a .953 save percentage over his prior three starts. Overall, the 28-year-old netminder is 1-3-1 with a .918 save percentage and 2.90 GAA while backing up Elvis Merzlikins in Columbus.

Between pipes Thursday Martin will defend the home crease versus Dallas on Thursday, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Impact Martin is off to a good start with the Blue Jackets, going 1-2-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .928 save percentage this season. Martin will face the Stars, who have been having trouble lighting the lamp, as they have scored only 32 goals in 11 contests.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes 34 saves in loss Martin saved 34 of 36 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to Florida on Monday.

Impact Martin didn't get the start, but he entered the contest after Elvis Merzlikins surrendered three goals on 11 shots by 6:09 of the first period. Martin went on to put forth a solid performance, but he couldn't quite seal the deal and was ultimately charged with the loss. He's 1-2-1 with a 2.62 GAA and a .928 save percentage in five outings this year. Martin's strong work in relief Monday might be rewarded with the start at home versus Dallas on Thursday.
