Nick Blankenburg, Malcolm Subban Recalled By Columbus

Columbus has announced a couple of emergency recalls today.

Defenseman Nick Blankenburg and Goalie Malcolm Subban were recalled today. This after Jake Bean suffered a season-ending injury, and Daniil Tarasov was injured last night against New York. They have also sent forward Trey Fix-Wolansky back to Cleveland. 

Blankenburg played in 6 games for Columbus earlier this season, but couldn't register any points. In his last game on December 19th against the Buffalo Sabres, he appeared to suffer a concussion. In 21 games for Cleveland, he has a stat line of 3-10-13.

Subban, a journeyman in his career, has a combined AHL record of 11-17-4 with a save % of .901 this season for Springfield and Cleveland. 

Fix-Wolansky has appeared in 10 games for Columbus, tallying only a single assist. In his defense, he's averaging less than 10 minutes a game for Columbus. The all-time leading points-getter for the Monsters has 197 points in his career. 

What's Next - John Tortorella brings his Philadelphia Flyers into Nationwide Arena on Saturday night.
