Set for backup duties Johnson was promoted to the active roster Saturday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.
Impact Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, so Johnson will serve as Elvis Merzlikins' backup. Johnson has yet to make his NHL debut. In fact, he's played exclusively in the ECHL over the last two seasons, registering a .941 save percentage over seven games this year.

Season over Fix-Wolansky underwent knee surgery and will miss the rest of the 2020-21 season, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Fix-Wolansky was off to a strong start with the Blue Jackets' AHL affiliate, recording nine points through nine games. The 21-year-old has yet to make his NHL debut. He'll begin his rehab soon with hopes of being ready for the 2021-22 campaign.
MARCH 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joins AHL affiliate Tarasov was assigned to AHL Cleveland on Saturday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Impact Tarasov recently wrapped up his season with Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the KHL, during which he posted an 11-3-2 record while registering a 2.07 GAA and a .925 save percentage in 16 appearances. He'll likely stick with Cleveland for the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign.
MARCH 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Out with lower-body injury Korpisalo (lower body) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Elvis Merzlikins will start in goal Saturday, while Cameron Johnson will serve as the backup. Korpisalo is considered day-to-day, so he could possibly return for Sunday's rematch against the Red Wings.
MARCH 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tending twine Saturday Merzlikins will protect the road goal in Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) has been ruled out, so Merzlikins will make his fourth start of March. The 26-year-old has been solid this season, registering a .912 save percentage and a 5-3-2 record through 12 appearances. This is certainly an appealing matchup, as the Red Wings have lost three straight games while scoring just one goal.

Ready for backup duties Merzlikins (illness) will suit up for Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes, per the NHL's official media site.
Impact Merzlikins missed Wednesday's practice, but he's healthy enough to serve as Joonas Korpisalo's backup in Thursday's game. The 26-year-old Merzlikins has recorded a .912 save percentage and a 5-3-2 record through 12 appearances this year.

In goal Thursday Korpisalo will get the starting nod for Thursday's home clash with the Hurricanes, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.
Impact Korpisalo has struggled of late despite getting some rest thanks to the return of Elvis Merzlikins (illness), as he is sporting a 1-3-1 record and .910 save percentage in his previous five outings. At this point, Korpisalo will almost certainly fail to reach the 19-win mark he set last year. The duo figure to continue splitting the crease the rest of the way, making Korpisalo a mid-range fantasy option at best.
MARCH 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Promoted to active roster Grigorenko was recalled to the active roster Thursday.
Impact Grigorenko hasn't gotten into a game for the club since Feb. 23 against the Blackhawks, so his elevation to the active roster shouldn't be considered an indication he'll suit up against Carolina on Thursday. In his 18 appearances this year, the 26-year-old winger garnered two goals on 17 shots, five assists and eight hits while averaging 12:52 of ice time.
MARCH 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Under the weather Merzlikins missed Wednesday's practice with a non COVID-19 illness.
Impact Merzlikins should be considered questionable for Thursday's clash with Carolina. If Merzlikins is unable to go against the Hurricanes, Cameron Johnson will likely be promoted to the active roster.
