Ottawa Senators goaltender Leevi Merilainen will get his first taste of NHL action this season on Saturday on the road against Vancouver. Linus Ullmark has carried a heavy workload lately but will get the night off versus the Canucks, with Merilainen coming in for his third career NHL appearance. He's yet to win a game, going 0-1-1 and allowing 4.23 goals with a .878 save percentage. However, Merilainen has shown promise in the AHL, posting a 7-2-2 record this season with a 2.43 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. The 22-year-old is in a tough spot on Saturday, but he'll be supported by a hot team that's scored at least three times in each game during its current five-game winning streak.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
