Elvis Merzlikins Takes On Panthers Saturday Night
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will try to end Florida's four-game winning streak on Saturday. The Latvian netminder will enter the road contest with a 6-6-2 record, a 2.75 goals-against average, a .917 save percentage and one shutout. The 26-year-old has done well when healthy, but he's been very injury-prone throughout the campaign, and with the Jackets owning one of the worst offensive records in the league, Merzlikins hasn't received enough goal support at times either. Columbus averages just 2.05 goals per game away from home, so this could be another disappointing night for Merzlikins.
