Elvis Merzlikins Back In Net On Wednesday
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will be in between the pipes as his team engages in a rematch versus the Nashville Predators on Wednesday. The 27-year-old was in net for the first installment versus the Preds on Monday in which he allowed four goals on 38 shots against in the overtime loss. While Merzlikins has had a tough time finding the win column all season (7-12-5), the Latvian netminder has actually put up a respectable 2.80 goals-against average, .916 save percentage and two shutouts in his second NHL campaign. However, with most fantasy owners in the midst of a championship matchup, it might be hard to count on Merzlikins (46% owned in Yahoo! leagues) against a red-hot Nashville team on Wednesday.
