Martin turned aside 19 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets. - Facing the team he played 13 games for earlier this season, Martin had a rough finish to the regular season. The 28-year-old netminder is likely done for the season, with Frederik Andersen and Pyotr Kocketkov more than capable of handling duties in the crease during the playoffs. Over 19 outings between Columbus and Carolina, Martin posted a 3.30 GAA and .889 save percentage to go along with his 3.30 GAA and .889 save percentage. |

The netminder is 4-0-1 with the Hurricanes, and he has given up only 10 goals on 129 shots (.922 save percentage). Martin is extra protection, as the injury-prone Frederik Andersen has one year remaining after this season on his contract, while Pyotr Kochetkov is expected to at least share the starting crease in Carolina next season. |

Martin made 20 saves in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets. - Waived by Columbus in January, Martin got some revenge against the club he spent the first few months of the season with. The 28-year-old netminder has yet to take a regulation loss as a Hurricane, going 4-0-1 with a 1.97 GAA and .922 save percentage, but with Frederik Andersen (illness) nearing his return, Martin could be exposed to waivers once again or flipped to another club at the trade deadline. |

The Blue Jackets, who are tied for 22nd offensively with 2.91 goals per game, should be a favorable matchup for the hot goaltender. |

Martin will tend the twine at home versus the Blackhawks on Monday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports. - Martin will be making consecutive starts for the for the first time since mid-November. The 28-year-old netminder is coming off a solid 29-save win over the Golden Knights on Saturday. Martin is already seeing minimal usage in the crease and will likely see even fewer opportunities once Frederik Andersen (illness) is cleared to return. |

Martin will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. - Martin will get the second half of the back-to-back after Pyotr Kochetkov picked up a 5-1 win over the Coyotes on Friday. Martin won his last appearance, a 3-2 victory over the Bruins, in his Hurricanes debut. He hasn't seen much playing time as the Hurricanes' backup goalie since being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jackets, and he'll face a tough opponent in his first action in over three weeks. |
None |

Martin will guard the road goal versus the Bruins on Wednesday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports. - Martin will make his Hurricanes debut Wednesday, though he'll have a tough matchup. The 28-year-old went a poor 3-8-1 with a 3.65 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 13 games before he was waived by Columbus on Thursday and claimed by Carolina a day later. Martin figures to back up Antti Raanta until Fredeirk Andersen (blood clotting issue) or Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) is ready to return to the crease. |
None |
| Jan. 19, 2024 |
The Hurricanes claimed Martin off waivers from Columbus on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - The Hurricanes need goaltender help as Frederik Andersen has been out of action since Nov. 2, a span of 32 games, with a blood clotting issue while Pyotr Kochetkov is currently in concussion protocol. Antti Raanta is currently the No. 1 goaltender with Yaniv Perets as his backup. Look for Martin, who was 3-8-1 with a 3.65 GAA and an .887 save percentage with lowly Columbus, to back up Raanta until one of Kochetkov or Andersen is ready to return to action. In the meantime, expect the Hurricanes to send Perets to the minors. |

Martin was placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to AHL Cleveland on Thursday. - The Blue Jackets will go with Daniil Tarasov as their No. 1 option in goal while the disgruntled Elvis Merzlikins should see the occasional start as the team's backup. Merzlikins has requested a trade, so Martin could find himself with the big club on a permanent basis after the deadline. |

Martin stopped 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins. - He held Boston off the board in the first period, but Martin got caught by surprise on a Kevin Shattenkirk shot from distance early in the second and the Bruins never looked back. It was Martin's first start in almost a month, although he did notch a relief win last Friday, and he's fallen to third on the Blue Jackets' depth chart since Daniil Tarasov (illness) rejoined the NHL roster. On the season, Martin is 3-8-1 with a 3.65 GAA and .887 save percentage. |

Martin stopped 16 of 19 shots after replacing Elvis Merzlikins (illness) to begin the second period of Friday's 6-5 overtime win over the Maple Leafs. - Two of Toronto's three goals against Martin came on power plays, and the 28-year-old netminder held the Leafs off the board completely in the third period to help force OT. Martin hadn't been in the crease at all since Dec. 7 due to the return of Daniil Tarasov and hadn't picked up a win since Nov. 27, but Columbus has been reluctant to expose him to waivers and risk losing the goaltending depth. On the season, Martin has a 3-7-1 record with a 3.62 GAA and .889 save percentage. |

Martin will get the starting nod on the road against the Islanders on Thursday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - Martin has managed just one win in his last seven contests, posting a 1-5-1 record, 3.26 GAA and .898 save percentage. With the Blue Jackets heading into a back-to-back and Elvis Merzlikins (illness) unavailable, Jet Greaves figures to play versus the Blues on Friday. Once Merzlikins is back, Martin figures to resume his duties as the No. 2 option for Columbus. |

Martin will guard the road net Sunday against the Bruins, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - Martin was sharp in his last outing, turning aside 31 shots in a 5-2 win over the Bruins.

Martin allowed just two goals on 33 shots in Monday's 5-2 win against the Bruins. - The matchup didn't look terribly favorable on paper, but the heavy underdog Blue Jackets turned the tables on the first-place Bruins, getting off to a 4-0 start to give Martin more than enough offensive support before he was finally beaten midway through the third period. The 28-year-old Ontarian slapped the brakes on a four-game personal losing streak since his last win on Oct. 20 against the Flames. |

Martin turned aside 21 of 25 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers. - Philadelphia's final goal was scored into an empty net. Martin had clean looks at the first two shots to get by him, but in general this result was more on the Columbus defense than the netminder -- the Flyers' third goal came on a two-on-nothing shorthanded breakaway for Ryan Poehling and Garnet Hathaway that Martin still almost denied. The 28-year-old goalie has gone 0-4-1 over his last five starts with a 3.54 GAA and .889 save percentage. With Daniil Tarasov (knee) still lacking a clear timetable for his return, Martin should remain the backup to Elvis Merzlikins for now. |
None |

Martin made 23 saves in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings. - Goals came in bunches against Martin, as he got beaten twice in under a minute early in the first period and twice in just over two minutes late in the second. The 28-year-old netminder has lost his last four decisions, going 0-3-1 over that stretch, and on the season he's 1-4-1 with a 3.26 GAA and .905 save percentage -- numbers that should ensure Elvis Merzlikins is back between the pipes Sunday against the Rangers. |

Martin will occupy the visiting crease versus Detroit on Saturday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports. - This will be the third straight start for Martin, who is 1-3-1 this season with a 2.90 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Martin saved 34 of 36 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to Florida on Monday. - Martin didn't get the start, but he entered the contest after Elvis Merzlikins surrendered three goals on 11 shots by 6:09 of the first period. Martin went on to put forth a solid performance, but he couldn't quite seal the deal and was ultimately charged with the loss. He's 1-2-1 with a 2.62 GAA and a .928 save percentage in five outings this year. Martin's strong work in relief Monday might be rewarded with the start at home versus Dallas on Thursday. |

Martin will defend the home goal Saturday against the Islanders, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - Martin has stopped 75 of 82 shots en route to a 1-1-0 record through three appearances this season.

Martin will protect the home goal versus the Flames on Friday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports. - It was initially indicated Elvis Merzlikins would return from an illness to start, but Martin led the Blue Jackets onto the ice for warmups. Martin has allowed six goals on 45 shots across two appearances (one start) this season, though he has the benefit of facing a Flames team playing the second half of a back-to-back. |
None |
| Oct. 16, 2023 |
Martin will patrol the home crease Monday against Detroit, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. - Martin, who stopped 15 of 17 shots in one period of relief against the Rangers on Saturday, will make his first start for Columbus because Elvis Merzlikins (illness) isn't ready to return yet. Jet Greaves, who was added to the Columbus roster Monday on an emergency basis, is slated to serve as the backup goalie. |
None |

Martin made 15 saves in relief Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Rangers. - Starter Elvis Merzlikins, who earned the win, left after two frames with illness.

Martin was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jackets on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. - The Blue Jackets needed help between the pipes as they have Elvis Merzlikins as their starter, but had only Daniil Tarasov (knee) and Aaron Dell, who is on a professional tryout, as backup options. While Martin struggled last season, going 11-15-1 with a 3.99 GAA and .871 save percentage for the Canucks, he could help the Blue Jackets in a backup role, at least until Tarasov is healthy again. |
None |
| Sept. 28, 2023 |
Martin was placed on waivers by the Canucks on Thursday. - The netminder was the third goalie on the depth chart behind Thatcher Demko and Casey DeSmith. Martin had a terrible 2022-23 campaign with the Canucks, going 11-15-1 with a 3.99 GAA and an .871 save percentage before he was sent to the minors on Feb. 14. He redeemed himself with AHL Abbotsford as he was 7-7-2 with a 2.43 GAA and a .916 save percentage. Look for Martin to be recalled if Demko or DeSmith sustain an injury during the regular season. |
None |
| Feb. 14, 2023 |
Martin was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday, per the AHL transaction page. - Martin cleared waivers prior to being demoted. In 29 NHL contests this campaign, he posted a record of 11-15-1 with a 3.99 GAA and an .871 save percentage. The Canucks brought up netminder Arturs Silovs in a corresponding move to serve as Collin Delia's backup until Thatcher Demko (lower body) returns. |
None |
| Feb. 13, 2023 |
Martin was placed on waivers Monday for the purpose of reassignment. - Assuming he clears, Martin will likely be sent down to the minors Tuesday after serving as the backup for Monday's clash with Detroit. Given the decision to reassign Martin, the team appears set to get Thatcher Demko (lower body) back in the lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday, though not officially confirmed by the club. |
None |

Martin will guard the visiting net versus Detroit on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports. - Martin has lost his last nine games, last winning Dec. 27 versus San Jose. He is 11-14-1 with a 3.95 GAA and .873 save percentage overall. Martin will try to turn things around against a Red Wings team that ranks 26th in home scoring with 3.04 goals per game at Little Caesars Arena. |

| Feb. 8, 2023 |
Martin will be between the pipes on the road against the Rangers on Wednesday. - Martin is currently mired in an eight-game losing streak during which he's posted a 4.95 GAA and an .847 save percentage. Even with his struggles, the 27-year-old Ontario native has continued to split the netminding duties with Collin Delia. Given his struggles, Martin will almost certainly be relegated to the No. 2 role once Thatcher Demko (lower body) is cleared to return. |
None |
| Jan. 25, 2023 |
Martin is expected to start in Wednesday's road game against Seattle. - Martin has lost his last seven contests while posting an ugly 4.77 GAA and .851 save percentage over that span. He's 11-12-1 with a 3.86 GAA and an .877 save percentage in 26 contests in 2022-23.

Per Thomas Drance of The Athletic, Martin was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, putting him on track to guard the home goal during Wednesday's matchup with the Lightning. - Martin wasn't great in his last start Saturday against the Panthers, surrendering four goals on 35 shots en route to a 4-3 loss. He'll try to snap his personal five-game losing streak in a tough home matchup with a hot Tampa Bay team that's won four straight contests. |
None |
| Jan. 15, 2023 |
Martin made 31 saves in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers. - Three Florida goals in a little over eight minutes during the second period, two of them coming on the power play, proved to be the difference as Martin took his fifth straight loss and 10th of the season. The 27-year-old netminder has given up at least three goals in each of those five losses and has allowed fewer than three only once in his last 13 appearances, a dreadful stretch in which he's stumbled to a 4.37 GAA and .862 save percentage. Thatcher Demko (lower body) began skating at the beginning of the month and seems to be inching closer to a return, but as yet the Canucks haven't offered a clear timeline for when he might be back between the pipes. |
None |

Martin is expected to start in Saturday's road game versus Florida, Patrick Johnston of the Vancouver Province reports. - Canucks coach Bruce Boudreau said Martin might also start on the road versus Carolina on Sunday. Thatcher Demko (lower body) is on the injured reserve list, so that might be why Boudreau is considering using Martin on back-to-back days. Martin is 11-9-1 with a 3.74 GAA and .880 save percentage in 23 contests this season. The 27-year-old goaltender's struggled recently, dropping his last four games while posting a 4.61 GAA and .852 save percentage over that span. Florida has the 15th-ranked offense with 3.23 goals per game. |
None |

Martin will guard the road goal Tuesday versus the Penguins, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports. - Martin will make his first start since Jan. 3, though he also gave up three goals in a relief loss to the Jets on Sunday. The 27-year-old has given up 11 goals over his last three outings, all losses. The Penguins snapped their recent slump in Arizona over the weekend, and they could present a challenge for a struggling goalie. |
None |
| Jan. 8, 2023 |
Martin stopped 11 of 14 shots after replacing Collin Delia early in the second period of Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Jets. - The Canucks actually tied the game up at 4-4 soon after Martin entered the game, so the loss goes on his record. It continues a run of poor play for the 27-year-old netminder that stretches back to early December -- Martin has allowed fewer than three goals only once in his last 11 appearances, leaving him with a 3.67 GAA and .881 save percentage on the season. |
None |

Martin was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he will start Tuesday at home versus the Islanders. - Martin is coming off a 27-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Calgary.

Martin stopped 27 of 30 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flames. - Martin and the Canucks' defense had a rough second period, allowing all three goals in a span of 12:56. The Canucks pushed back with goals by Sheldon Dries and Elias Pettersson, but they couldn't conjure an equalizer. Martin closed out December with a 5-4-0 record through 11 appearances, and he's now at 11-6-1 with a 3.55 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 20 appearances. The Canucks begin January by hosting the Islanders on Tuesday. |
None |
| Dec. 27, 2022 |
Martin allowed two goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Sharks. - Timo Meier had both goals against Martin, but Bo Horvat more than made up for it with a four-point night to lead the Canucks in the win. Martin has gone 5-3-0 across 10 appearances in December, but this was just the third time he's limited an opponent to two tallies this month. The 27-year-old is up to 11-5-1 with a 3.57 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 19 contests. Thatcher Demko (lower body) is still weeks away from returning, so Martin's run as the No. 1 for Vancouver is likely to continue a while longer. |
None |
| Dec. 22, 2022 |
Per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650, Martin was the first goaltender off the ice Thursday, indicating he will get the home crease against Seattle. - Martin has had a tough couple of games, giving up 10 goals on 54 shots in a pair of 5-1 losses to Winnipeg and St. Louis. He is 9-5-1 with a 3.60 GAA and an .885 save percentage. He will face the Kraken, who have scored 108 goals in 31 games. |
None |
| Dec. 19, 2022 |
Martin allowed five goals on 27 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Blues. - For the third time in four games, the Canucks' offense was virtually non-existent. Martin's not doing himself any favors at this point -- he's allowed three or more goals in six straight appearances. The heavier workload may be getting to the 27-year-old as he continues to cover for Thatcher Demko (lower body). Martin is now at 9-5-1 with a 3.59 GAA and an .885 save percentage in 17 contests. The Canucks' last two games before the holiday break at Thursday at home versus the Kraken and Friday in Edmonton. He'll likely start at least one of those games, though fantasy managers may want to leave Martin in reserve given his recent struggles. |
None |
| Dec. 17, 2022 |
Martin allowed five goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Jets. - The Canucks' offense was pretty lifeless in this game, and Martin's goaltending didn't keep it close. The 27-year-old has given up 20 goals in his last five outings, though he's salvaged a 2-2-0 record in that span. He's at 9-4-1 with a 3.50 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 16 contests overall. Martin's still the starter with Thatcher Demko (lower body) likely sidelined until mid-January. It wouldn't be surprising to see Collin Delia snag a start some time before the holiday break, if for no other reason than to give Martin a breather -- he's started seven straight games. |

Martin is expected to start on the road against Calgary on Wednesday, per Aaron Vickers of NHL.com. - Martin is getting into his seventh straight game. He has an 8-3-1 record, 3.45 GAA and .891 save percentage in 14 contests this season. The Canucks are likely to continue leaning heavily on him while Thatcher Demko (lower body) is unavailable. Calgary has the 22nd-ranked offense at 2.97 goals per game, and the Flames have lost their last three games, so Martin has a solid opportunity here to earn a win. |
None |

Martin is expected to start at home versus Minnesota on Saturday. - Martin has allowed nine goals over his last two games. He's 8-2-1 with a 3.48 GAA and .890 save percentage in 13 contests this season. The Wild are tied for 16th place offensively with 3.08 goals per game. |

Martin will guard the road goal versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports. - Martin was pulled after allowing four goals on nine shots Monday versus the Sharks. The Canucks rallied back to win that game 7-6 in overtime, but they will be hoping Martin's play doesn't require another big rally Wednesday. The 27-year-old has a favorable matchup in this one, but he's allowed 12 tallies across his last four outings. |

Martin was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports, indicating he will start Monday at home against Montreal. - Martin is coming off a 21-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Arizona.

Martin will be between the home pipes against Arizona on Saturday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports. - Martin was the first goaltender off the ice Saturday morning, and with Thatcher Demko out of action for the next six weeks with a lower-body injury, the No. 1 job is Martin's for the taking. He is 6-2-1 with a 3.21 GAA and a .900 save percentage this season. He will face the Coyotes, who have scored only 57 goals in 21 games this campaign. |
None |
| Dec. 1, 2022 |
Martin gave up two goals on 14 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers. - Martin wasn't on the hook for the loss, as he replaced an injured Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) after the Panthers' third goal late in the first period. The Panthers didn't test Martin much the rest of the way, though he wasn't particularly sharp in the relief appearance. He remains at 6-2-1 through 10 contests, and he now has a 3.21 GAA and a .900 save percentage. If Demko misses any length of time, Martin figures to slot in as the Canucks' top goalie, a role he was already trending towards on the basis of performance through the first quarter of the season. The Canucks' next game is a more favorable matchup versus the Coyotes on Saturday. |
