Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins stopped 36-of-37 shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win against the Panthers, earning his first career NHL victory. With Joonas Korpisalo (knee) expected to miss at least four-to-six weeks after suffering a torn meniscus, Merzlikins made his first start since Dec. 14 and stepped up in a big way with the effective performance against a quality opponent. The 25-year-old improved his record to 1-4-4 to go along with a 3.14 goals against average and .900 save percentage through 11 games played. Merzlikins is worth adding in standard fantasy formats as he is expected to earn the majority of starts for the Blue Jackets until goaltender Joonas Korpisalo returns to action.--Denis Vondrus - RotoBaller
