Goloubef will be playing in his first NHL game since March 14th. The 29-year-old, who has 23 points (2G / 21A) in 134 career NHL games, will replace Erik Brannstrom to get him some playing time.

Goloubef, 27, was acquired from Columbus earlier in the season and has picked up just one assist in two games with San Antonio since the trade. Prior to the deal he had seven points (2G / 5A) in 16 games with Cleveland (AHL) and his call-up could be a lengthy one with Erik Johnson sidelined for 6-8 weeks.
Goloubef has missed the first two games of the year with an oblique injury, but his return to practice on Tuesday suggests that he is nearing a return to the Blue Jackets’ lineup. He would likely take Dalton Prout’s spot in the lineup.
