Leevi Merilainen was strong in net for the Senators Thursday night, stopping 25 of 26 shots faced in a 1-0 overtime loss to the Capitals.

Fantasy Impact:

Merilainen continues a strong stretch in goal, allowing less than three goals in each of his last four starts (3-0-1) for the Senators. The goaltender has rewarded head coach Travis Green with a reliable netminding option playing behind an inconsistent Ottawa lineup, carrying an impressive 1.84 GAA and .930 save percentage in eight appearances (5-2-1, two shutouts) in the crease so far this season.
