by Bruno Mulé | Blue Jackets Correspondent | Fri, Feb 7th 4:47pm EST
Merzlikins turned aside 30 of 33 shots for a .909 save percentage, keeping Columbus within striking distance before ultimately falling in overtime. He logged 64:27 in the crease and made seven saves on the penalty kill.
Fantasy Impact:
While Merzlikins has shown flashes of strong play, his overall results can be influenced by the team’s defensive performance in front of him. He’s best utilized as a mid-tier option, providing solid save totals but occasionally facing volatility in goals-against average. Managers seeking goaltending depth may find him serviceable, though starting him against high-powered offenses carries some risk.
