Elvis Merzlikins To Make Third Consecutive Start On Tuesday
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will man the crease as his team travels to face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. The 26-year-old is coming off two losses to the Detroit Red Wings over the weekend - a set of games in which he allowed a combined five goals against but only received two goals of offensive support. Filling in as the starter with fellow netminder Joonas Korpisalo currently sidelined with an injury, Merzlikins (48% owned in Yahoo! leagues) servers as an attractive option for fantasy owners in need of a spare goaltender. Despite missing time due to his own injury issues in 2020-2021, Merzlikins has been solid with a 2.86 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage through 14 appearances.
