Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Spencer Martin will be between the pipes for Tuesday's regular-season finale versus the hosting Columbus Blue Jackets. Both Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov will get a break with the club locked into the two-seed in the Metropolitan Division. The 28-year-old Martin was claimed off waivers from the Blue Jackets earlier in the season and has been excellent for the 'Canes when called upon, turning in a 1.97 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage across five games with Carolina, going 4-0-1 in that time. Martin has appeared in 56 career NHL games, posting a 3.47 GAA and an .889 Sv% in stints with the Avalanche, Canucks, Blue Jackets, and Hurricanes.
The Carolina Hurricanes have signed goaltender Spencer Martin to a one-year, $775K contract that runs through next season. The Hurricanes claimed the netminder off waivers from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Jan. 19. "Spencer has been an excellent addition to our team," Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell said. "He stepped right in and played well for us, and we're excited to sign him for next season." In five games with the 'Canes, Martin owns a 1.97 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage alongside a 4-0-1 record in that time. However, regression is likely as he also sports a 3.47 GAA and an .889 Sv% across 56 NHL contests.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Spencer Martin is the starting goalie for Thursday's road game versus the Columbus Blue Jackets. Interestingly, Martin was claimed off waivers by the Hurricanes from the Blue Jackets recently and has been on fire in his new digs. The 28-year-old has gone 3-0-1 in four starts with the 'Canes while posting a 1.96 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage. Whether his production is sustainable is questionable as he also sports a career 3.50 GAA and .888 Sv% across 55 NHL appearances. For the immediate term, Martin is a fine streaming option on Thursday as he takes on a struggling Blue Jackets team that sits in a tie for 22nd with 2.91 goals per game on the season.
The Columbus Blue Jackets waived goalie Spencer Martin on Thursday. With the Jackets trying to give playing time to Daniil Tarasov and also having Elvis Merzlikins on the roster, Martin just didn't have a chance to get much playing time. Adding to that, Martin posted a subpar 3-8-1 record with a 3.65 GAA and .887 SV%. He could be claimed by a team that needs a backup, but in all likelihood, he will head to the AHL. The Blue Jackets are a mess again this year, and neither Merzlikins nor Tarasov gain much from this transaction. They should only be rostered in deep points leagues.
