4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine (illness) isn't feeling well enough to play on Saturday. The team has activated Emil Bemstrom (lower body) from Injured Reserve to take his spot in the lineup. Laine's season hasn't gone according to play as he boasts only 12 goals and 21 points through 42 outings with an awful minus-25 rating. He's been held off the scoresheet 14 times in his past 17 appearances. Bemstrom will play his first game since March 17, looking to add to two points and 17 shots he has picked up in 15 matches. Elvis Merzlikins will make his 21st start of the season between the pipes, with Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) done for the year.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
