Blue Jackets’ McElhinney scheduled for knee surgery, done for season

Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Curtis McElhinney will undergo surgery on his knee Monday and miss the remainder of this season, the team announced.

McElhinney suffered his injury at practice Friday.

Coming off his best season, the long-time backup appeared in 18 games, won twice, and authored a forgettable .890 save percentage in 2015-16.

He's got one more year on his deal, and is schedule to earn $800,000 next season.
