Leevi Merilainen Wins Second Straight Contest
Ottawa Senators goaltender Leevi Merilainen stopped 24 of the 26 shots he faced en route to defeating the Dallas Stars on Sunday. Merilainen allowed the first goal of the game to Jason Robertson but was then able to keep Dallas off the scoresheet until late in the third period when Evgenii Dadonov would strike on the power-play. This was Merilainen's second-straight victory as he defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier on Saturday in a shutout. This is an excellent sign for the 22-year-old as he posted a .884% SV and a 3.10 GAA over his first four starts of the season. With Linus Ullmark (back) still on the injured reserve, fantasy managers should expect Merilainen to continue to split the crease with Anton Forsberg. However, given Merilainen's current play, he could begin to earn the majority of the starts.
