Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will be back between the pipes for Tuesday's road game in St. Louis. It's been a rocky road for the 29-year-old this season as the club gave an extended look to the younger Daniil Tarasov of late, leading Merzlikins to demand a trade out of Columbus. He then received three straight starts but has struggled of late, going 0-2-1 while allowing 14 goals alongside an .844 save percentage over his last three appearances. Overall, Merzlikins owns a 3.35 goals-against average and .901 Sv% across 27 starts on the season, going 8-10-7 for a young and scuffling Blue Jackets team. He takes on a surging Blues team that has won five straight games with an average of 3.80 goals per game during that stretch.--Brenton Kemp
