Elvis Merzlikins Earns First Win On Saturday
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins captured his first win of the season in his team's 5-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon. Having given up eight goals in his first two starts of the season, Merzlikins looked a lot more like the goalie that posted a 2.35 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage in his rookie campaign. Despite splitting time with fellow netminder Joonas Korpisalo, the 26-year-old can still be considering a strong fantasy asset while playing behind a very strong defensive team in Columbus. He might get another start in the Jackets' next game versus the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.
