Elvis Merzlikins Set To Miss Thursday's Action
2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins (lower body) looks set to miss Thursday's battle with Montreal after he exited Tuesday's 5-4 win over Philadelphia early with an injury. The team has made an emergency recall of Daniil Tarasov from the minors. Merzlikins has had an awful time this season and sits on a 2-5-0 record, having given up a whopping 4.74 goals per game with a .865 save percentage. With him missing, Joonas Korpisalo will take over the crease, entering Thursday's matchup with a decent 2-1-1 record. However, he hasn't really been in the sharpest form either, producing a 3.69 goals-against average with a .910 save percentage.
