World Junior Golden-Goal Scorer Kent Johnson Sent Down by Blue Jackets

This move might be a surprise, but not when you factor in that goaltender Elvis Merzlikins is sick so Columbus had to call up a goalie. To have their roster compliant, Johnson had to go down in a purely paper-move.

The expectation is for the Blue Jackets to recall Johnson once Merzlikins is ready, so they can keep their roster at 23 men.
