Justin Danforth Guides Columbus Blue Jackets to 3-1 Victory Over Calgary Flames

Backup Goalie Spencer Martin Snaps 11-Game Losing Streak, Making 36 Saves for Columbus Blue Jackets Despite Initial Plan to Start Elvis Merzlikins

Justin Danforth and Zach Werenski propelled the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 3-1 victory against the Calgary Flames, each contributing a goal and an assist.
Backup goalie Spencer Martin broke his 11-game losing streak by making 36 saves for the Blue Jackets. Martin was claimed off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks on September 29.
Sean Kuraly scored his first goal of the season, marking the first time the Blue Jackets have opened the scoring in a game this season.
The Blue Jackets were initially set to start Elvis Merzlikins as goalie, but he was deemed not fully recovered from illness, prompting Spencer Martin's starting role.
In their current five-game road swing, the Flames have managed only one win in four outings, reflecting a shaky start to the season.
