Elvis Merzlikins Gets Sunday Start For Columbus
3 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will be in the net for the club on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 27-year-old goaltender hasn't started a game since Feb. 17 after suffering an injury in practice. It's been a rough year for Merzlikins, who has seen his numbers dip for a second straight year. He currently features a .903 save percentage and 3.42 GAA through 32 appearances. Fantasy managers will want to be cautious when deciding whether or not to start Merzlikins tonight. The Penguins are the better team this season but they're playing on back-to-back nights and have been inconsistent in February. The Blue Jackets have been playing better as of late.
