Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins picked up his first career NHL shutout on Saturday, blanking the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 at T-Mobile Arena. The 25-year-old, filling in for injured netminder Joonas Korpisalo (knee), was terrific throughout the full 60 minutes in this one, stopping all 27 shots thrown at him. After failing to record a victory in his first eight career starts earlier this season, Merzlikins has won five of his past seven starts - posting a save percentage greater than .900 in all but one of those contests. As a result, the Latvian rookie now carries a 2.70 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in 17 appearances in 2019-2020. Just 37% owned in Yahoo! leagues, Merzlikins should be considered a high-priority pick-up for the short-term.--Chase Davis - RotoBaller

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins (undisclosed) will not dress for Thursday's matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. He was initially expected to be the starter for the contest after being the first goalie to leave the morning skate. However, it has now come to light that Merzlikins, who holds a 26-21-5 record for the season, is dealing with an undisclosed injury. As a result, the Blue Jackets are expected to turn to Daniil Tarasov on Thursday, while Jet Greaves has been summoned from the minors on an emergency basis to fill the gap in the lineup.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins allowed five goals on 34 shots during their loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday evening. The Blue Jackets dominated the shot total in this contest, but Merzlikins was unable to keep them in the game. He allowed three goals during the opening frame and two goals in the second frame. This poor showing extended his losing streak to six contests. During this stretch, Merzlikins held a 0-5-1 record with a hefty 3.55 GAA and a .890 save percentage. Merzlikins allowed at least five goals during three of these games. However, before this skid, Merzlikins held a modest 5-3-1 record with a 2.88 GAA and a .910 save percentage. The 30-year-old will likely get the starting nod in their next game on Monday evening against the New York Islanders.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will start between the sticks on Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He will try to end a five-game losing streak. Merzlikins' recent dip in form has left a negative mark on his record, as the Latvian netminder is now 22-18-5 for the season. He has allowed 3.00 goals with a .897 save percentage and one shutout. Recent weeks have been difficult for Merzlikins, but he has had the Penguins' number this season, winning both of his previous two starts against them, with only five goals allowed. Jet Greaves will serve as Merzlikins's backup on Friday, as Daniil Tarasov (illness) did not travel to the game.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins (undisclosed) has been named the starter for Friday's matchup against Boston. The Latvian netminder sat out Columbus' final game ahead of the holiday break, as he has reportedly been banged up. However, Merzlikins appears to have shaken off whatever bothered him and is ready for action on Friday. It's been another wild ride for Merzlikins in 2024-25, with him going 10-9-3. He put together a four-game winning streak last month but has celebrated just three victories in eight December starts. The 30-year-old has allowed 3.13 goals for the campaign with a .889 save percentage and one shutout. Friday's matchup puts Merzlikins in a challenging spot, as the Bruins have heated up with an 8-2-1 run.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
