It’s the official game thread for Blue Jackets at the Penguins!
As if the rivalry needs extra excitement, Elvis Merzlikins is in the building and between the pipes tonight making his NHL debut.
Elvis, is in the building. Merzlikins makes his #CBJ regular season debut in Pittsburgh tonight, per Tortorella.

#CBJ also will swap out its third pair on defense. Dean Kukan and Vladislav Gavrikov in, Scott Harrington and Markus Nutivaara out. No changes among the forward unit (Sonny Milano still scratched), but Torts says he will change some lines.
